## Summary

YouTube Sync connects your YouTube channel to a Framer CMS collection and keeps it up to date.

## Description

YouTube Sync connects your YouTube channel to a Framer CMS collection and keeps it up to date. Point it at a channel, hit Sync, and your videos appear as structured CMS items, ready to design with.

## **What it does**

-   Fetches all public videos from a YouTube channel
    
-   Maps video metadata (title, description, thumbnail, publish date, URL) to CMS fields
    
-   Supports channels of any size
    
-   Two sync modes: Full Sync (adds, updates, and removes stale items) or Add Only (never removes)
    
-   Preserves any manual edits you make in the CMS across re-syncs
    

## **CMS fields created automatically**

-   Title, Description, Published Date, Thumbnail, Video URL, Video ID
    
-   Hidden (boolean, user-editable: the plugin never overwrites it)
    

## **Setup takes under two minutes:**

1.  Create a free YouTube Data API key in Google Cloud Console
    
2.  Enter your API key and Channel ID in the plugin
    
3.  Hit Sync
    

## Pricing

**Free**: sync up to 5 videos to try it out.

**$99 one-time**: unlimited videos, lifetime access, dedicated support. One license per Framer project.

## Requirements

-   A YouTube Data API v3 key (free, from Google Cloud Console)
    
-   A YouTube Channel ID
    
-   A Framer CMS collection
