Integrate YouTube with Zoho People

YouTube became the most popular video sharing website in a very short time. It is ranked as the second popular site after Google. It is not a surprise that it has become an essential part of our lives. Zoho People is a cloud-based human resources software. The features of this software are similar to those of other cloud-based software such as Google Apps. It provides the same services that Google Apps do such as Gmail, Google Docs, Calendar, and Contacts.

This article will show some integration between YouTube and Zoho People. Integration provides several benefits for both companies. This article will discuss the benefits of integration. In addition, it will also explain how integration works.

Integration is the best way to use two software applications together. YouTube and Zoho People can be integrated for better productivity. The integration will allow the users to access both applications from one portal. There are many ways to integrate these two applications. The first way is to integrate them from the login screen. The second way is to integrate them from the dashboard of each application.

The first way is easy to implement but it is not useful for the user. On the login page, there will be two options. Sign in with your Google account or Sign in with your Zoho account. By clicking on one of them, you can access either YouTube or Zoho People. There is no benefit for the user because he/she must sign in again to get to the next application. If the user wants to access both applications, he/she must click twice and sign in again, which is a waste of time especially when he/she has important tasks to complete.

The second way is more useful for users. When users log into either YouTube or Zoho People, they will see both applications in the dashboard of the first application like the image below shows.

This integration allows the users to access both applications from one portal. In addition, it makes them more productive because they only have to sign in once. This integration can be done by implementing OAuth 2.0 authorization protocp in both applications. The authentication server (Google. will provide a temporary token to authorize Zoho People requests. After getting the token, Zoho People will make an API call to YouTube using that token instead of its own API key to get data from YouTube.

To implement this integration, both companies must work together and set up a new API key for each application. In addition, they must sign an agreement so that they can share data securely and legally. Once they set up all of these things, they can start integrating their applications.

Integration is a great way to reap the benefits of two different software applications. YouTube and Zoho People can benefit from integration by making their customers more productive. The first way is not a good idea because it does not make users more productive; however, the second way can help users get more work done within the same amount of time. The second way is more useful because it provides a portal where users can access both applications without signing in twice. YouTube and Zoho People should create ways to integrate their applications for better productivity and convenience for their customers.
