Video upload and metadata

The YouTube Data API accepts video files along with titles, descriptions, tags, and visibility. A Beam agent reads a ready video and its details from your source, applies the naming and metadata rule you approved, and uploads it as scheduled or private for review. Fields that match your template are filled automatically. Videos missing required disclosures, carrying rights questions, or set to go public without sign off are held and routed to a person, because a premature or mislabeled publish is visible to every subscriber the moment it lands and is awkward to walk back later.

Playlist management

Playlists group videos into ordered collections on a channel. When a new video is published or an existing one is reclassified, the agent reads its topic and applies your playlist rule, updating membership and order so a series stays in sequence. Clear fits are placed without fuss. A video that could belong to several playlists, or one whose place would reorder a curated sequence, is left for a person to slot, since playlist order shapes what viewers watch next and a wrong move quietly buries an episode that was meant to lead the set.

Channel and subscription settings

Channel settings cover defaults, sections, and the subscriptions a channel follows. A Beam agent reads change requests from your team, applies the policy you set, and updates the relevant settings or subscription list where account permissions allow it. Low risk edits, like adjusting a default upload category, go through directly. Anything affecting branding, monetization, or public channel identity is never changed alone; it is recorded and escalated to a person, because settings that shape how the whole channel presents itself deserve a human decision rather than an automatic one.
