YouTube options in Composer
Every YouTube post needs a video. If you add images instead, CoPost turns them into a video for YouTube Shorts.
- Title: set it in the Title field in Composer's Details section.
- Visibility: Public, Private or Unlisted (anyone with the link can watch).
- License: Standard YouTube License or Creative Commons.
- Category: the YouTube category that best fits your video.
- Tags: keywords that help people find your video.
- Notify Subscribers: tell your subscribers about the new video.
- Allow Embedding: let other websites embed your video.
- Made for Kids: you must tell YouTube whether your video is made for children. This is a legal requirement, so please answer honestly.
To add your own thumbnail, see the Custom Thumbnail Guide.
Good to know
