Steps

  1. Obtain an OAuth access token from Brightcove's OAuth endpoint using a registered client ID/secret with CMS write permissions.
  2. Send a PATCH request to https://cms.api.brightcove.com/v1/accounts/{account_id}/videos/{video_id} with a JSON body containing only the fields to change.
  3. Include only fields you want to modify, since CMS API PATCH updates are partial rather than full replacements.
  4. Check the response status and body to confirm the updated video resource.
  5. Allow time for changes to propagate to Video Cloud's delivery/CDN cache before verifying on playback.
