How to import YouTube media URLs (currently not possible)

Updated this week

Can you import YouTube URLs with Elovate?

Currently, Elovate does not support importing YouTube or other external video URLs directly into Magento product media via an import job.

Magento itself only supports product videos through its Admin Media Gallery when manually added or via a custom integration.


What you can do instead

  • Manual upload in Magento
    Go to Catalog → Products → Edit product → Images and videos and add your YouTube URL there.


Why this isn’t supported yet

Elovate’s import profiles focus on images, attributes, and data transformation.

Video support in Magento uses a different media type (external-video) and requires additional configuration in the admin, which is not currently part of the import process.
