Does SocialPilot Allow Scheduling of YouTube Videos?
SocialPilot supports scheduling and posting videos on YouTube, a feature that was previously unavailable. This capability allows you to fully automate your YouTube marketing efforts, making it easier to use video content to gain greater exposure on social media.
You can schedule both regular videos and YouTube Shorts directly from the dashboard. When scheduling a video, you don’t need to specify whether it’s a Short or a regular video. SocialPilot will automatically detect the video type based on its specifications and publish it accordingly.

How to Connect Your YouTube Channel to SocialPilot?
Here is a step-by-step process of how to connect your YouTube channel on SocialPilot:
- Access your SocialPilot account and go to Connect Account > YouTube > Connect Channel.
- Log in to your Gmail account and select the YouTube channel you want to connect.
- Grant SocialPilot permission to manage your YouTube account.
- Once the channel is successfully connected, you will receive a confirmation message. Your YouTube channel is now synced with SocialPilot, and you are ready to schedule and upload videos.
Specifications for YouTube Shorts and Regular Videos
To ensure your video is recognized as a YouTube Short, it must meet the following criteria:
- The video must be in a vertical format.
- The video must be less than 60 seconds long.
If your video meets these criteria, SocialPilot will publish it as a YouTube Short.
For regular YouTube videos, the specifications differ slightly:
- The ideal aspect ratio is 16:9.
- The duration of verified channels can be up to 12 hours and unverified accounts up to 15 minutes.
