Behind the scenes: how we build the new collection
YouTube channel
What counts as a YouTube connection
YouTube publishing runs through the YouTube Data API: connect a channel once, and Onlypult uploads a video or a Shorts on your schedule with the title, description, category and privacy status it needs. A video under 60 seconds is automatically offered as a Shorts upload, up to a 180-second limit, and the channel's daily cap of 10 uploads applies either way.
What Onlypult supports
Everything you need to post to YouTube
Video or Shorts uploads
Upload a standard video, or a vertical Shorts video up to 180 seconds — Shorts is suggested automatically whenever the file runs under 60 seconds.
Title, description and tags
Set a required title of up to 100 characters, a description of up to 2,500 characters, and comma-separated tags with a combined 500-character limit.
Category and privacy status
Pick a required category from YouTube's list and set privacy to Public, Private or Unlisted before the video goes live.
Playlist assignment
Add the upload to a playlist as part of the same post — available on plans with media-edit rights.
Made for Kids, license and like count
Set the Made for Kids flag, choose Standard YouTube License or Creative Commons – Attribution, and hide the like count on plans that support it.
Cross-post to 14+ networks
Plan the post once and publish it to YouTube together with Instagram, TikTok, Threads and more.

FAQ
Connecting YouTube to Onlypult
What can I publish to YouTube with Onlypult?
A standard video or a Shorts upload (vertical, up to 180 seconds), with a required title up to 100 characters, a description up to 2,500 characters, and tags with a combined 500-character limit.
How does YouTube decide if my video becomes a Short?
Any upload under 60 seconds is automatically suggested as a Shorts video, up to the 180-second Shorts limit.
Can I assign the video to a playlist automatically?
Yes, on plans with media-edit rights — Onlypult adds the upload to the playlist you choose as part of the same post.
Is category and privacy status required for every upload?
Yes. YouTube requires a category from its list and a privacy status — Public, Private or Unlisted — for every video, and Onlypult sets both before publishing.
Can I schedule the same post for YouTube and other platforms?
Yes. YouTube is one of 14+ networks in the Onlypult calendar, so a single scheduled post can cross-post to YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and others at once.
