Adding the source
This data source allows you to pull YouTube comments from your live stream. First though, you will need an API key to make this work. Learn about that below.
Grab the video ID from your YouTube live stream.
For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esxtWWn83Es. The video ID is esxtWWn83Es.
Adding this data source will send all of your comments to the Social page of the Control window.
Getting a YouTube API key
Sign in
Use your Google account to sign in to console.developers.google.com.
Create a project
Once signed in, use the âSelect a Projectâ modal to create a new project, name it whatever you want.
APIs and services
Once created, you will be directed to the âAPIs and servicesâ page. From here you can choose â+ Enable APIs and servicesâ.
Adding the YouTube Data API
In the search box, type âYouTube Dataâ, and choose âYouTube Data API v3â from the results. Then âEnableâ the API.
Credentials
Once the API is enabled, there will be a âCredentialsâ tab on the left, click on that. On the credentials page there will be a â+ Create credentialsâ option at the top, click that, then choose âAPI Keyâ.
Your API key
If everything went well, you will get a modal pop up with your API key for use in H2R Graphics. Copy/paste it into the software!
âšď¸ That API key is for your eyes only. Do not share it with anyone.
