Use your Youtube content in your SupaPass website and App
Got great content on YouTube? đĽ Instead of uploading it all over again, you can easily pull in your existing YouTube videos just by using their video ID. It's a super quick way to reuse content youâve already created - whether itâs tutorials, interviews, or anything in between. Even better: you can lock certain videos behind a paywall on your SupaPass site, so only your paying subscribers get access. The videos donât need to be public, as long as youâve got the video ID and the viewer has access through your platform, youâre good to go.
This approach keeps your content streamlined while still delivering a high-quality, branded experience directly to your audience through your web and mobile apps.
đ§ Step-by-step instructions
1. Open the Content Layout
Log into your SupaPass dashboard.
In the sidebar, click Content Layout.
Go to the Video tab.
Click Create a New Video
2. Choose âYouTube Video IDâ as Your Source
You'll see three options for adding video:
Upload a video file from your library or folders
Enter a YouTube video ID
Add a live stream URL
Choose Enter a YouTube video ID.
đĄ Callout: Make sure the video you want to use is public or unlisted. Private videos may not work properly.
4. Get the YouTube Video ID
Go to the YouTube video you'd like to add.
Copy the ID â itâs the part of the URL after the "=" in a standard YouTube link.
Example:
For this URL:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbCdEf12345
The ID is:AbCdEf12345
5. Paste the ID into SupaPass
Paste the YouTube video ID into the Enter YouTube Video ID field.
SupaPass will automatically fetch the thumbnail from YouTube, so there's no need to add a cover image.
6. Add Metadata
Title: You can manually enter a title or use AI assistance to generate one.
Description: Add a description or generate with AI.
Preview Description: This is visible to users even if the content is behind a paywall.
7. Assign to a List and Product
Choose whether to:
Add the video to an existing content list
Create a new list automatically
Then, assign the content to one or multiple Products.
đNew here and haven't yet created any products? We recommend that you first create your products, before adding your content
8. Configure other settings (Optional)

add an e-reader/PDF file
SEO settings
9. Save and Wait for Sync
Click Save.
It might take a few minutes to appear on your website/app.
Youâre All Set â Let the Video Shine! â¨
Once you hit Save, your YouTube video is officially part of your SupaPass content library. It might take a minute or two to show up on your site or app, so donât worry if itâs not instant. When it does appear, youâll see the same thumbnail you set on YouTube, and the video will play beautifully â with all the usual YouTube features like playback speed and subtitles (if setup). Whether your audience is watching on the web or in your app, theyâll get a smooth, native viewing experience. Nice work! đ
