Assign your video to a channel by specifying one or more channel IDs. (Optional)

Note

If you don't want to assign your video to a channel, you'll need to remove this tag entirely, or the upload will fail.

Times are according to D ISO 8601 , in the format YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD

where:

      • YYYY = year
      • MM = month
      • T = start of the time element (required)
      • hh = hour
      • mm = minute
      • ss = second
      • TZD = timezone designator (+hh:mm or -hh:mm)


Example: 2019-07-01T09:00:00+02:00 would release the video at:

  • 09:00 Berlin time
  • 08:00 London time
  • 07:00 UTC


If a period is specified, the release is time-controlled.

Example :

Code Block
languagexml
themeRDark
<release>
    <publish>
        <period>
            <begin>2019-07-01T09:00:00+02:00</begin>
            <end>2019-08-01T09:00:00+02:00</end>
        </period>
    </publish>
</release>

If an empty tag is specified <publish/>, the video is released immediately, without a time limit.

If you entered an invalid date (for example, the release date you entered is in the past), the video will be imported without any release status.

  • Ingest system failure
