Settings per post

What you need
A YouTube channel. Videos can be up to 200 MB in Socialschedulr.
Everything YouTube asks for
For a YouTube video or Short you fill in everything YouTube needs: the title, the visibility (public, unlisted or private), whether the video is made for kids, the category and tags. If your channel is verified, you can also choose your own thumbnail of 1280 by 720 pixels.
Per post you choose whether it becomes a regular video or a Short. For a Short, use a vertical 9:16 video.
Handy tools
In the editor you also have hashtag sets and saved text, cropping and alt text and UTM codes at hand.
