Technical Details

Can I schedule YouTube Shorts?

Yes. If you upload a vertical video with a 9:16 aspect ratio, PostEverywhere and YouTube will automatically categorize it as a Short.

Are there video size limits?

YouTube's API supports large video files, but for the best experience, we recommend keeping files under 2GB. Supported formats include MP4, MOV, and AVI.

Can I set the video thumbnail?

Currently, the YouTube API selects a default thumbnail from the video. To set a custom thumbnail, you can use the YouTube Studio after the video has been published.
