### Properties
The following table defines the properties that appear in this resource:
Properties `kind` `string`
Identifies the API resource's type. The value will be `youtube#video`. `etag` `etag`
The Etag of this resource. `id` `string`
The ID that YouTube uses to uniquely identify the video. `snippet` `object`
The `snippet` object contains basic details about the video, such as its title, description, and category. `snippet.publishedAt` `datetime`
The date and time that the video was published. This time might be different than the time that the video was uploaded. For example, if a video is uploaded as a private video and then made public at a later time, this property will specify the time that the video was made public.
There are a few special cases:
- If a video is uploaded as a private video and the video metadata is retrieved by the channel owner, then the property value specifies the date and time that the video was uploaded.
- If a video is uploaded as an unlisted video, the property value also specifies the date and time that the video was uploaded. In this case, anyone who knows the video's unique video ID can retrieve the video metadata.
- If a video is uploaded as a members-only video, the property value specifies the date and time that the video was uploaded.
The value is specified in [ISO 8601](https://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime) format. `snippet.channelId` `string`
The ID that YouTube uses to uniquely identify the channel that the video was uploaded to. This value can change over time, such as when a video is reassigned to a different channel (for example, a topic channel or artist channel). `snippet.title` `string`
The video's title. The property value has a maximum length of 100 characters and may contain all valid UTF-8 characters except **\<** and **\>** . You must set a value for this property if you call the `videos.update` method and are updating the `snippet` part of a `video` resource. `snippet.description` `string`
The video's description. The property value has a maximum length of 5000 bytes and may contain all valid UTF-8 characters except **\<** and **\>** .
> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** For URLs in the description to be rendered as clickable links in the YouTube UI, the channel must meet platform-level requirements, such as channel verification or having Advanced Features enabled.
You can create video chapters by including formatted timestamps (for example, `00:00`) in the description text. `snippet.thumbnails` `object`
A map of thumbnail images associated with the video. For each object in the map, the key is the name of the thumbnail image, and the value is an object that contains other information about the thumbnail. `snippet.thumbnails.(key)` `object`
Valid key values are:
- `default` -- The default thumbnail image. The default thumbnail for a video -- or a resource that refers to a video, such as a playlist item or search result -- is 120px wide and 90px tall. The default thumbnail for a channel is 88px wide and 88px tall.
- `medium` -- A higher resolution version of the thumbnail image. For a video (or a resource that refers to a video), this image is 320px wide and 180px tall. For a channel, this image is 240px wide and 240px tall.
- `high` -- A high resolution version of the thumbnail image. For a video (or a resource that refers to a video), this image is 480px wide and 360px tall. For a channel, this image is 800px wide and 800px tall.
- `standard` -- An even higher resolution version of the thumbnail image than the `high` resolution image. This image is available for some videos and other resources that refer to videos, like playlist items or search results. This image is 640px wide and 480px tall.
- `maxres` -- A high resolution version of the thumbnail image. This image size is available for some videos and other resources that refer to videos, like playlist items or search results. This image is 1280px wide and 720px tall.
- `fhd` -- The full high definition (1080p) version of the thumbnail image. This image size is available for some videos. This image is 1920px wide and 1080px tall.
- `qhd` -- The quad high definition (1440p / 2K) version of the thumbnail image. This image size is available for some videos. This image is 2560px wide and 1440px tall.
- `uhd` -- The ultra-high resolution (4K) version of the thumbnail image. This image size is available for some videos. This image is 3840px wide and 2160px tall.
`snippet.thumbnails.(key).url` `string`
The image's URL. `snippet.thumbnails.(key).width` `unsigned integer`
The image's width. `snippet.thumbnails.(key).height` `unsigned integer`
The image's height. `snippet.channelTitle` `string`
Channel title for the channel that the video belongs to. `snippet.tags[]` `list`
A list of keyword tags associated with the video. Tags may contain spaces. The property value has a maximum length of 500 characters. Note the following rules regarding the way the character limit is calculated:
- The property value is a list, and commas between items in the list count toward the limit.
- If a tag contains a space, the API server handles the tag value as though it were wrapped in quotation marks, and the quotation marks count toward the character limit. So, for the purposes of character limits, the tag **Foo-Baz** contains seven characters, but the tag **Foo Baz** contains nine characters.
`snippet.categoryId` `string`
The YouTube [video category](https://developers.google.com/youtube/data/reference/rest/v3/videoCategories/list.md.txt) associated with the video. You must set a value for this property if you call the `videos.update` method and are updating the `snippet` part of a `video` resource. `snippet.liveBroadcastContent` `string`
Indicates if the video is an upcoming/active live broadcast. Its value is `none` if the video is not an upcoming/active live broadcast.
Valid values for this property are:
- `live`
- `none`
- `upcoming`
`snippet.defaultLanguage` `string`
The language of the text in the `video` resource's `snippet.title` and `snippet.description` properties. `snippet.localized` `object`
The `snippet.localized` object contains either a localized title and description for the video or the title in the [default language](https://developers.google.com/youtube/data/reference/rest/v3/videos.md.txt#snippet.defaultLanguage) for the video's metadata.
- Localized text is returned in the resource snippet if the `videos.list` request used the `hl` parameter to specify a language for which localized text should be returned *and* localized text is available in that language.
- Metadata for the default language is returned if an `hl` parameter value is not specified *or* a value is specified but localized metadata is not available for the specified language.
The property contains a read-only value. Use the `localizations` object to add, update, or delete localized titles. `snippet.localized.title` `string`
The localized video title. `snippet.localized.description` `string`
The localized video description. `snippet.defaultAudioLanguage` `string`
The `default_audio_language` property specifies the language spoken in the video's default audio track. `contentDetails` `object`
The `contentDetails` object contains information about the video content, including the length of the video and an indication of whether captions are available for the video. `contentDetails.duration` `string`
The length of the video. The property value is an [ISO 8601](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Durations) duration. For example, for a video that is at least one minute long and less than one hour long, the duration is in the format `PT#M#S`, in which the letters `PT` indicate that the value specifies a period of time, and the letters `M` and `S` refer to length in minutes and seconds, respectively. The `#` characters preceding the `M` and `S` letters are both integers that specify the number of minutes (or seconds) of the video. For example, a value of `PT15M33S` indicates that the video is 15 minutes and 33 seconds long.
If the video is at least one hour long, the duration is in the format `PT#H#M#S`, in which the `#` preceding the letter `H` specifies the length of the video in hours and all of the other details are the same as described above. If the video is at least one day long, the letters `P` and `T` are separated, and the value's format is `P#DT#H#M#S`. Please refer to the ISO 8601 specification for complete details.
> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** The returned duration might differ slightly (for example, by 1 second) from the actual playback duration due to transcoding and encoding differences.

The object will contain either the `contentDetails.regionRestriction.allowed` property or the `contentDetails.regionRestriction.blocked` property. `contentDetails.regionRestriction.allowed[]` `list`

The `status` object contains information about the video's uploading, processing, and privacy statuses. `status.uploadStatus` `string`

Valid values for this property are:
- `deleted`

The video's privacy status. In a `videos.insert` request, if you don't specify a value for this property, the uploaded video's privacy status defaults to `public`. Certain uploads might default to `private` based on creator account settings, as explained in the [YouTube Help Center](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/157177). Videos uploaded from unverified API projects are not restricted to private viewing mode.
Valid values for this property are:
- `private`
- `public`
- `unlisted`
`status.publishAt` `datetime`
The date and time when the video is scheduled to publish. It can be set only if the privacy status of the video is private. The value is specified in [ISO 8601](https://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime) format. Note the following two additional points about this property's behavior:
- If you set this property's value when calling the `videos.update` method, you must also set the `status.privacyStatus` property value to `private` even if the video is already private.
- This property can only be set if the video's privacy status is `private` and the video has never been published.
- If your request schedules a video to be published at some time in the past, the video will be published right away. As such, the effect of setting the `status.publishAt` property to a past date and time is the same as of changing the video's `privacyStatus` from `private` to `public`.

Valid values for this property are:
- `creativeCommon`
- `youtube`
`status.embeddable` `boolean`

`status.publicStatsViewable` `boolean`
This value indicates whether the extended video statistics on the video's watch page are publicly viewable. By default, those statistics are viewable, and statistics like a video's viewcount and ratings will still be publicly visible even if this property's value is set to `false`. `status.madeForKids` `boolean`
This value indicates whether the video is designated as child-directed, and it contains the current "made for kids" status of the video. For example, the status might be determined based on the value of the `selfDeclaredMadeForKids` property. See the [YouTube Help Center](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9527654) for more information about setting the audience for your channel, videos, or broadcasts. `status.selfDeclaredMadeForKids` `boolean`
In a `videos.insert` or `videos.update` request, this property allows the channel owner to designate the video as being child-directed. In a `videos.list` request, the property value is only returned if the channel owner authorized the API request. `status.containsSyntheticMedia` `boolean`
In a `videos.insert` or `videos.update` request, this property allows the channel owner to disclose that a video contains realistic **Altered or
Synthetic** (**A/S** ) content. Learn more about [YouTube
