  2. Go to Video Settings > Youtube > Import Videos section.
  3. Type your YouTube UserName(s) in Youtube Username field. Separate additional YouTube users with a comma.
  4. Type your YouTube Playlist(s) in the Youtube Playlist Ids field. Separate additional YouTube playlists with a comma.
  5. Set the frequency of batch imports. You must have WP Cron enabled. (enabled by default in WordPress).
