How to Filter and Edit Video Metadata in YouTube MCN

Overview

Managing large volumes of YouTube video content is easy and efficient within Revelator’s YouTube MCN module. This feature allows you to filter videos by multiple criteria — such as views, likes, duration, or visibility — and access or edit key metadata directly from the platform.

• Discover underperforming videos

• Ensure metadata consistency across catalogs

• Maintain compliance with content standards

---

Prerequisites

• YouTube MCN connection must be active.

• Channels and their videos must already be imported.

• You need edit permissions in the workspace or on the assigned channel.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I bulk edit metadata for multiple videos? Currently, edits are made one video at a time. Bulk editing is on the roadmap.

• What if my edits aren’t reflected on YouTube? Metadata updates are stored in Revelator’s catalog. Edits in Revelator do not push to YouTube directly.

• Can I export filtered video lists? Export functionality is in development — for now, filtered views remain in-platform.

• Can I edit videos I don’t own? Only if you have permissions or are the assigned channel owner.
