Not only does it make posting to multiple accounts really easy, but proper Bluesky support has also helped us keep in touch with our readers there as well. Our favourite feature is the post creation screen; being able to build the same post for multiple platforms, but then make slight tweaks to each to suit each platform's needs, and also be able to control their timing, all from the one section, has been fantastic. *![Portrait of Luke Plunkett](https://www.postpone.app/_vercel/image?url=%2Fimages%2Favatar-luke-plunkett.jpg&w=160&q=78)**Luke Plunkett** Co-Founder, AftermathPosts to X, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube and Bluesky* ## **YouTube Shorts Analytics Tool** ### Find Out Which Shorts Get Watched Not all Shorts make it past the first scroll.

[**Visit the Help Center **](https://help.postpone.app/) [**Contact us **](https://www.postpone.app/contact) ### **Can Postpone schedule full-length YouTube videos, or only Shorts?** Shorts only. Postpone uploads Shorts to any of the YouTube channels you connect; long-form uploads, premieres and livestreams stay in YouTube Studio. In practice that means a square or vertical video of 3 minutes or less, with a title, an optional description and a kids-content designation. If Shorts are the part of your channel that has to go out consistently, that is exactly the part Postpone schedules. [**Scheduling YouTube Shorts **](https://help.postpone.app/platforms/youtube/scheduling-shorts) ### **How long can a YouTube Short be, and does it have to be vertical?** Three minutes or shorter, and square or vertical only — YouTube does not accept a landscape video as a Short, so a 16:9 export is rejected rather than letterboxed. Postpone does not add a file-size ceiling of its own on top of that, so a high-bitrate export from your editor uploads as-is. [**YouTube Shorts media limits **](https://help.postpone.app/platforms/youtube/media-limits) ### **Can I post the same video to YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels at once?** Yes — upload the video once and add each account to the same post. There is no downloading from one platform and re-uploading to the next, and each destination keeps its own caption, hashtags and settings, so the Short gets its title and #Shorts tag while the TikTok gets its privacy and interaction settings. Facebook is on the same list if you post Reels there too. [**How crossposting works **](https://www.postpone.app/social-media-glossary/crosspost) ### **Does a scheduled Short need a title, and does #Shorts still matter?** A title is required on every Short and the description is optional. Putting #Shorts in the title or description helps YouTube surface the video in the Shorts feed, and Postpone’s Hashtag Manager keeps that set (and whatever else you tag with) saved so you are not retyping it on every upload. [**Scheduling YouTube Shorts **](https://help.postpone.app/platforms/youtube/scheduling-shorts) ### **Do I have to mark a Short as made for kids?** Yes — YouTube requires a content designation on every upload, so Postpone asks whether the video is made for kids when you schedule it. It is worth getting right rather than guessing: YouTube limits comments, notifications and other features on videos marked as kids' content. YouTube's own help center has the criteria if a video sits near the line. [**YouTube's guidance on kids' content **](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9528076) ### **Can I schedule Shorts to more than one YouTube channel?** Yes, Postpone schedules Shorts to as many YouTube channels as you connect. Add each one from Settings > Social Accounts > YouTube, where you sign in with the Google account that owns it and pick which channel to add when that account has several. Every connected channel then gets its own queue, its own posting schedule and its own analytics, and a single post can go out to more than one of them. [**Connecting a YouTube channel **](https://help.postpone.app/platforms/youtube/connecting-youtube) ### **Can I keep up with comments on a Short from inside Postpone?** Yes, you can keep up with Shorts comments inside Postpone. They land in Postpone’s inbox next to the comments from your other connected accounts, so a Short that takes off overnight does not mean opening YouTube Studio to keep up. Saved replies cover the questions that come up on every video, and the AI assistant will draft a reply from the thread when a comment needs a real answer.
