- If an Amara user has already added one of your videos to the Amara Public Workspace, that video will not automatically show up in your Amara Community team, even if you have set up integration between the YouTube channel and the team. Please contact enterprise@amara.org if you have questions about videos from your YouTube channel that have already been added to the Amara Public Workspace.

Troubleshoot adding videos to your team
Videos must be embeddable. This means that either they should be a direct link to a HTML5 compatible video, or to a player supported by Amara (like YouTube or Vimeo). If you have the option, whitelist www.amara.org for embedding on the video's source site.
Videos must be public at the host site to add to an Amara Community team.
