YouTube links in Google Calendar

attach add view YouTube videos from Google Calendar or any iCalendar iCal service

Have you uploaded your personal videos on YouTube? Are you using Google Calendar or any other iCalendar service? Here you can bridge them. You can add links of your videos in your calendar.

How it works:

This service, with the help of Google API along with PHP/Zend framework, converts a YouTube account video feed (or a YouTube playlist) to iCalendar's ICS format. This way you can have Google Calendar events linking the day you capture your video(s) into YouTube's playback page. To make this work, follow these simple steps:

1. From you Google Calendar main page, click Add on the Other calendars box. A menu appears.
2. From this menu select Add by URL.
3. The page Add Other Calendar apears with the tab Add by URL selected. On the Public Calendar Address: input field type http://feeds.arian.gr/?y2c=XXXX. XXXX can be a YouTube username or a YouTube playlist link (below there is an online tool to help you find your playlist(s) YouTube link).
4. Click the Add button. That's all! You are done.

Open your Google Calendar and go to the date you captured a video. You will see it there along with its YouTube link. Just click and watch it...

Very important: In order to see a YouTube event on your Calendar, you must input the day you recorded it in YouTube's My Videos section. If you haven't done this, try to Edit your video and select the Day: you recorded it on Date and Map box. Map Location is not required by this service. Nevertheless, this is a good opportunity to fill this up too ;)

Note: From time to time, Google Calendar doesn’t apply import commands immediately. Just leave you request there and you will see your feed in your calendar some time later...
