The interfaces (APIs) of the different networks partially limit the possibilities in publishing via third-party providers like Facelift. This article summarizes everything you need to know about publishing YouTube videos.
Post formats
For YouTube, you can upload videos from your media library. You can also customise the title, description and thumbnail. You can also add tags and categories. Set the visibility of the video and decide whether the video statistics should be made public on the YouTube Watch Page.
YouTube Shorts
YouTube does not offer an explicit interface (API) for publishing videos as shorts.
By following certain guidelines made by YouTube, the likelihood that a video you upload will be listed under Shorts increases. If you want to schedule a video as a short, select YouTube as the network in the post creation and click on Shorts. Here we have also stored the specifications. Afterward, YouTube's algorithm decides whether your uploaded video is subsequently listed under Shorts.
