Update a video

PATCH
/videos/{videoId}
Use this endpoint to update the parameters associated with your video. The video you are updating is determined by the video ID you provide in the path. For each parameter you want to update, include the update in the request body. NOTE: If you are updating an array, you must provide the entire array as what you provide here overwrites what is in the system rather than appending to it. Tutorials using video update.
