YouTube Shorts

Title, visibility and the made-for-kids answer YouTube requires, set once in the composer. Vertical or square videos up to 3 minutes count as Shorts; we warn you before one doesn’t.

Google verification

Until Google has verified reelport.io, Google may show an “unverified app” notice when you sign in. We will update this page once verification is done.

What account you need

Any YouTube channel you can upload to.

  • You sign in with the Google account that owns the channel. A Google account without a YouTube channel can’t be connected.

What you can post to YouTube Shorts

Checked when you upload and when you schedule, not after a post fails.

  • Videos

    MP4 or MOV, up to 1 GB and 10 minutes. YouTube treats vertical or square videos up to 3 minutes as Shorts; longer or landscape videos are uploaded as regular videos, and the composer warns you first.

  • Photos

    Not supported: YouTube takes videos only. Every other network takes photos.

  • Description

    The post’s caption becomes the video description.

YouTube Shorts options in the composer

Below the shared caption, only the options this platform actually asks for.

Title
Required, up to 100 characters.
Visibility
Public, unlisted or private.
Made for kids
Required by YouTube for every upload. You answer yes or no; nothing is preselected.
Shorts check
There is no Shorts switch in YouTube’s upload. reelport.io warns when a video is landscape or longer than 3 minutes, but doesn’t block it.

Plan, measure and answer on YouTube Shorts

Publishing is the start. The rest of reelport.io works on this channel too.

How connecting works

You sign in on the platform’s own page. reelport.io never sees your password, and its stored logins are encrypted.

  1. 01

    In Channels, choose YouTube and sign in with Google.

  2. 02

    Allow reelport.io to upload videos and to read your channel’s name and picture.

  3. 03

    Google logins last an hour; reelport.io refreshes them right before each upload, so scheduled posts go out without you.

YouTube Shorts questions

Does every vertical video become a YouTube Short?

YouTube counts vertical or square videos up to 3 minutes as Shorts. Longer videos publish as regular videos, and the composer tells you which one you will get.

Which YouTube options can I set?

Title, description, visibility, the made-for-kids answer YouTube requires, up to 30 tags, category and whether subscribers are notified.

Can I answer YouTube Shorts comments in reelport.io?

Yes. YouTube Shorts comments land in Community, the inbox, with saved replies and optional AI reply suggestions.

Can reelport.io pick the best time to post on YouTube Shorts?

Yes. Give the channel a posting schedule of time slots, and once insights come in reelport.io suggests the times your YouTube Shorts audience responds best. Posts go out from servers in the EU, with retries after 1, 5 and 15 minutes.
