Church Profile

Your Church Profile stores service times, address, contact details, and ministries. This information is prioritized over website content for logistics questions.

YouTube Integration

YouTube discovery, individual video imports, playlist imports, channel discovery, and automatic processing are available on all plans. Normal sermon/content capacity and Q&A usage limits still apply.

Individual Videos

Paste individual video URLs:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID

Channel and Playlist Processing

  1. Discover: Use the Discovery tab to add a YouTube channel or playlist URL. HolyQA scans it for matching videos.
  2. Review Inbox: New videos appear in your YouTube Inbox. Review and import selected videos, or enable auto-import for automatic processing.
  3. Automatic Processing: Choose whether new videos from each channel or playlist should appear for manual review or be processed automatically. Configure filters (duration, keywords, date) to control which videos are discovered.
  4. Processing: Enabled channels with auto-import are checked weekly. New videos are automatically queued for processing.

Connected YouTube channels and playlists are checked approximately every 7 days when automatic processing is enabled.

Processing Status

After uploading content, HolyQA processes it to make it searchable. Status updates appear in real-time without needing to refresh the page.
