Third Party Media Syncing

Syncing your YouTube or Vimeo accounts with Amplify Websites allows you to seamlessly integrate videos from these platforms into the media module of your Amplify Website. This simplifies the process of creating sermons or articles, as your videos are preloaded into the media library, ready to be added to your content. Refer to the accompanying notes for detailed instructions on how to set up and utilize these sync options effectively.

Note: For your sermon media, the sermon records will also need to be created, as this feature will sync your third party media to the Media Library, not create individual sermon records.

  • If you delete a video from your YouTube account, the item will not be deleted from the CMS, although the embed code will no longer work, as the original video has been removed.
  • We only sync public videos that are embeddable into the CMS. If you update a video to make it private, we will remove it from the CMS on the next sync.
