Compliant Records of Your YouTube Communications
YouTube is the best way for government agencies and school districts to share video content with their communities. Recorded meetings, public safety announcements, and event promos and highlights uploaded to YouTube can be shared directly or posted to other social media platforms.
These YouTube videos, as well as the comments made on them, constitute public records and must be saved and archived in accordance with your state’s record retention requirements. Our Social Media Archiving solution captures all your YouTube content in near-real time, so you never have to worry about missing a video or comment.
How it Works
Simply enter your YouTube login information from your CivicPlus® Social Media Archiving software account. The product then connects directly to your organization’s YouTube account through YouTube’s API or application program interface, so our software is able to interact with theirs.
When videos and comments appear on your page, they are automatically captured and stored in your archive in their native format with metadata.

Archiving Videos of Any Size and Format
No matter how long your video is, it will be saved in your archive in its entirety. Whichever file format you use of the many YouTube supports, your video will be archived in its native format.
