Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Buoy Video Sync – Import YouTube Videos, Playlists & Channels as Posts

No. Buoy Video Sync imports metadata (title, description, thumbnail URL, view counts, and so on) and saves it in WordPress. The video files stay on YouTube. Channel profile pictures and banners are downloaded into your media library; video and playlist thumbnails are displayed from the URLs YouTube serves them at.

You choose. Each sync rule has a destination post type, so videos, playlists, and channels are saved as the post type you select — Posts or any public custom post type.

You choose per rule. Run it once, immediately after saving, or set it to repeat automatically — hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or on a custom interval — via WordPress's built-in cron system. A recurring rule keeps importing new videos, playlists, or channel data on its own; it does not go back and refresh posts already imported. Refreshing existing posts on a schedule is available in Buoy Video Sync Pro.

YouTube data is fetched from the official YouTube Data API v3, which requires a key. The key is yours and stays on your server; Buoy Video Sync never sends your data to a third party.

Each API call costs 1 quota unit. Importing from a channel needs at least 2 calls (channel data plus playlist items), and roughly 1 more call per 50 videos for metadata. Google provides 10,000 free units per day. Buoy Video Sync shows an estimate before you run a sync.

Yes. Edit the Channel field on the Channels page and save — the plugin resolves the new URL/@handle/ID and switches to it, keeping your existing sync rules attached to the new channel. To stop syncing entirely, use the Delete channel button at the bottom of the channel card, which also clears its sync history.

By default your synced posts and settings are kept. If you want everything removed, enable Remove all Buoy Video Sync data when the plugin is deleted in Buoy Video Sync → Settings before deleting the plugin.
