FAQs:

Why can't I add the YouTube channel that I manage?

You need to be Owner of the YouTube channel in order to connect it with Publer. You can read more here.

Can I add advanced features, like video tags or end screen cards, to YouTube videos?

Unfortunately, the YouTube API does not support these options currently. However, we are tracking them here. As soon as their API supports it, we will be able to add these features too.

Can I upload a custom thumbnail for YouTube videos?

Yes, you can. First you need to verify your YouTube channel and then you can add a custom thumbnail to your videos.

Why is my monetization being turned off for YouTube Shorts scheduled through Publer?

YouTube videos published via 3rd party apps are not monetized by default. This is due to a limitation in YouTube's API. Currently, the only solution is to manually activate monetization for each post through your YouTube Studio.
