Posting to YouTube
Connect your YouTube to SocialBee

You will be prompted to select your Google account associated with your YouTube, and then to authorize SocialBee to post for you.
Once you've connected your account, you'll be able to see it in the SocialBee dashboard.
Create a post for your YouTube
Additionally, for YouTube you need:

Click on the interactive screen below to see the steps, or scroll down to the written instructions.
Add a post in SocialBee using the Post Editor.
Select your Youtube profile, and then click on Proceed for customizing the post (this enables you to reveal platform-specific features you wouldn't see otherwise).
Create your post: Add the video's title, description, select the privacy of the video (public, private, or unlited), and finally your video.
Preview your post using the preview found on the right side of your screen.
⚠️ In case you would like to select multiple accounts, add your caption and video BEFORE selecting the profiles.
How do I choose between regular videos or Shorts?
SocialBee will automatically make this distinction for you based on:
| Aspect Ratio | Length | The video will be shared as |
| 1:1 or 9:16 | under 60 seconds | YouTube Short |
| between 16:9 and 1:1 | any length | YouTube normal video |
| between 1:1 and 9:16 | any length | YouTube normal video |
