YouTube API @ Google I/O 2010

Tuesday, June 8, 2010

Kuan Yong, Gareth McSorley and I -- representing Product Management, Engineering, and Developer Relations, respectively -- were happy to present a YouTube API session at this year’s Google I/O developer conference. We got the chance to meet many members of the developer community there, but unfortunately not everyone is able to make it out to San Francisco in person. For the benefit of those who could not attend, a recording of our session is now available on YouTube, and embedded below.

The session was titled “YouTube API Uploads: Tips, Tricks, and Best Practices” and we covered all topics related to uploads from A (Android app uploads) to Z (zero-metadata uploads). We hit a few letters in between, too: B (browser-based uploads) I (iPhone app uploads), Q (upload quota questions), R (resumable uploads) and Y (YouTube Direct). There’s something for everyone in this session, so if your application uploads video to YouTube, be sure to check it out!
