YouTube Archiving

Your channel is a public record. Capture every video, comment, and edit.

Every video, description, comment, and live chat your organization publishes on YouTube is a business communication — subject to SEC and FINRA review or open-records law. Sharp Archive captures it all automatically, exactly as it appeared, even after it's edited or deleted.

On YouTube, a deleted video is still a record.

Videos, descriptions, and comments get edited, hidden, and removed constantly. But regulators and records requests care what your organization published when it was live. Sharp Archive keeps that version for you.

Capture all activity

Videos, descriptions, comments, captions, and live chat — including the thumbnail and metadata — in a format that mirrors YouTube.

Survives edits & deletes

Content that's later edited, made private, or deleted is still preserved, so the original record survives.

Every channel, one archive

YouTube sits beside your other social, email, and messaging — all 23+ channels searchable together.

Intelligent Monitoring

Get alerted to what matters — not to everything.

Teams switching from other archivers tell us the same thing: their old system flags everything, so reviewers spend their days clearing noise — and the comment that actually matters gets buried with the rest.

Sharp Archive scans content as it's archived — across all 23+ channels, YouTube included — and checks it against the compliance rules that apply to your organization. Content gets a risk score, and only higher-risk items surface for review.

1

Scan on capture

Every video, description, and comment is analyzed the moment it's archived — alongside your other channels.

2

Score against your rules

Content is checked against FINRA, SEC, and agency rules and assigned a risk score, with the specific problematic language highlighted.

3

Surface only what's flagged

When content crosses the risk threshold, your team is notified — so review time goes to genuine concerns, not routine uploads.
