Upload videos to a client's YouTube channel at a set time, with the title and description taken from the post, and track views, likes and comments.
Google Cloud project with the YouTube Data API. Google must verify the app for the upload permission before people outside the test list can connect.
YouTube posts need a video. The first line of the caption becomes the title (YouTube allows 100 characters) and the whole caption becomes the description (up to 5,000 bytes; YouTube does not allow the characters < and >). PostRoost streams the video to YouTube at the scheduled time.
10 questions
Yes. A post for YouTube must include a video; text or image-only posts cannot go to YouTube.
The first line of the caption becomes the title (up to 100 characters) and the whole caption becomes the description.
Up to 5,000 bytes, and YouTube does not allow angle brackets. Accented letters and emoji use more than one byte each; our character counter shows the byte count.
The YouTube Data API's default quota of 10,000 units a day covers roughly six uploads for a whole deployment. Higher-volume schedules need Google to raise the quota first.
Uploading is a sensitive permission, so Google must verify the app before people outside its test list can grant it.
Yes. PostRoost uploads the video at the scheduled time and publishes it as public.
You can upload a short vertical video like any other video, but Shorts-specific settings are not supported.
Not from PostRoost. It sets the title and description; add a custom thumbnail, playlist or end screen in YouTube Studio after the upload.
Upload the file in the composer (once media storage is configured; up to 300 MB) or paste a direct link to the file. At the scheduled time PostRoost streams it to YouTube.
Views, likes and comments per video. Channel subscriber counts are not collected.
