Have you ever heard about YouTube Direct Lite? Here is what it can do for you and your fans!

With an app now, designed for that, YouTube Direct Lite allows you to solicit videos from your users and then moderate those submissions into standard YouTube playlists for display.

This means, with the YouTube Direct Lite app, your fans can

• record a new video,
• upload an existing video from their device,
• pick one of their own YouTube uploads and submit to your playlist, all from their Android device.

You can then moderate their submissions, which won't show up

in your playlist till you explicitly approve them.

Connectikpeople may recall that, as the moderator, you will see a playlist of videos waiting for your approval. The videos you approve will be added into your channel.

Now here is how to start using the application

1) Register your Android app

2) Enable the Youtube Data API v3 and Google+ API in your API Console.

3) Include the Google Play Services library in your project to build this application.

4) Plug your Playlist Id into Constants.java and Android API Key into Auth.java
