▪ | Title: (mandatory parameter) this specifies the title to give to the video. Google™ accepts 100 characters for the title's length |
▪ | Caption: (mandatory parameter) this specifies a brief description of the the video. Google™ accepts 2048 characters for the description: longer ones will be cut. |
▪ | Category: (optional parameter) this specifies a category for the video, according to its content. Google™ stipulates that a video may belong to only one category, and the category name must not exceed 256 characters. |
▪ | WebSite Keywords: (optional parameter) this specifies a list of tags, or brief descriptions of the main aspects of the video. Google™ allows a maximum of 32 tags for each video. |
▪ | Preview Image: (mandatory parameter) this specifies a preview picture to associate with the video. Google™ advises you to give these thumbnails a minimum size of 120x90 pixel and to save them in .JPG, .PNG or .GIF format. |
▪ | Publication Date: (optional parameter) this specifies the video's publication date. |
▪ | Time (secs): (optional parameter) this specifies the duration of the video, in seconds. Google™ recommends that you give this information, and specifies that the duration must be between 0 and 28800 seconds (8 hours). |
▪ | Contents suitable for everybody: (optional parameter) this parameter is used to specify whether the video's contents are suitable for children. Google™ warns that, if a video is not indicated as suitable for children, it will only be viewable by users who have the Google Safesearch™ filter switched off. The Google™ Safesearch feature filters websites with explicit sexual or pornographic content and removes them from search results. |
