YouTube videos

Machined.ai can find relevant YouTube videos and embed them in your articles, where a video explains a section better than text.

Turning on YouTube videos​

  • Single articles: under Advanced settings → Media, turn on YouTube videos
  • Clusters: in the Media tab of the cluster table
  • Whole project: turn on YouTube videos in writing defaults, under Media

How videos are chosen​

When the article is written, Machined searches YouTube for videos about your keyword, in the article's language. It looks for recent, well-watched videos from established channels, and picks the most relevant and educational ones for your article. Most articles get one video; longer ones get two.

Each video is placed just after a relevant section heading. If no suitable video is found, the article is written without one.

In the editor​

Videos appear as embedded players in the article, and are listed in the Media section of the editor's right panel. To add a video yourself, paste a YouTube link into the article and it becomes an embed.

To remove a video, delete it from the article like any other content.
