Media rules
  • ·One video per upload
  • ·Title and visibility set per post
  • ·Video only — images are not accepted

YouTube uploads are a video plus the metadata that decides whether anyone finds it. Hookpost sets all of it at schedule time, so the upload does not need you present.

What you can publish to YouTube

Videos and Shorts

One video per upload. A vertical video under the length YouTube treats as a Short is published as one automatically — there is no separate Shorts setting to get wrong.

Full metadata on upload

Title, description up to 5,000 characters, tags and a custom thumbnail all go up with the video rather than being added afterwards.

Scheduled visibility

Upload privately and switch to public at the scheduled minute, or publish straight away.

Set on each post

  • ✓Title (required)
  • ✓Visibility: public, private or unlisted
  • ✓Tags
  • ✓Custom thumbnail
  • ✓Made for kids declaration (required by YouTube)

Video only, and the title is mandatory

YouTube rejects an upload with no title, and it will not take images. Both are checked before the post is queued, so a scheduled upload does not fail silently at 3am.
