    What is “Import from YouTube”?

    The “Import from YouTube” feature allows you to create short-form videos directly in Shoplive Admin using videos uploaded to YouTube. By simply entering a video URL, the video is automatically retrieved, accelerating the short-form content production process.

    Without a separate download process, the system automatically fetches video information such as the video itself and its description, helping to improve both operational efficiency and content acquisition.

    1. Click “Import from YouTube” in the Shortform List

    • In the Shoplive Admin left-hand menu, click [Shortform] → [Create Shortform].

    2. Enter YouTube URL and Preview Video

    When the “Import from YouTube” modal window appears, follow these steps:
