YouTube and Shorts
Upload videos and Shorts to your YouTube channel with a description written for search and a person's approval.
Writing and editing
- Descriptions with a one-line summary first, then details, a call to action and up to 3 hashtags
- Trim and fit videos in the browser, and compress large files before they are uploaded
- A live preview of how the title and description will read
After it goes out
- Comments arrive in the inbox to read and answer, if you allow it when you connect
- Views and engagement are read back for 30 days after posting
Rules set by YouTube
- Community posts can't be published by outside tools; YouTube offers no API for them
- YouTube decides what counts as a Short: a vertical video of up to three minutes
Connecting
How the account is connected
Connected with Google's own sign-in. Only a refresh token is stored, sealed; each upload uses a short-lived token that is never saved.
Every post is approved by a person before it is sent, and you can disconnect the account in Channels at any time, which deletes its stored tokens. See Security and Data deletion.
