On YouTube the upload is the easy part. The title, thumbnail, description, tags, visibility, and publish time are the homework, and Maeve keeps all of it on the post. Give YouTube its own title and description, set the rest, pull the thumbnail in, and pick the slot. If something is off, you find out before YouTube does.

A standard video takes one file, a YouTube title, a real description, tags, a category, and a custom JPEG or PNG thumbnail you upload or pull from Media Room. A square or vertical video that runs 180 seconds or less is detected as a Short and treated like one, with its own title, description, and schedule.
The composer validates MP4 and MOV files up front, and if a post marked as a Short runs past 180 seconds, Maeve stops the publish with a clear reason instead of letting YouTube reject it later.
Everything you would otherwise tick through in YouTube Studio sits on the post: Public, Unlisted, or Private visibility, the category list fetched from the connected channel, comma-separated tags, the standard or Creative Commons license, subscriber notifications, embedding permission, and the Made for Kids setting COPPA requires. Maeve also detects whether the upload is a Short or a long-form video from the file itself.
YouTube is a watch-time platform, so the report is less about who clicked and more about who stayed. Subscribers gained and lost, total views, watch time, average view duration, engagement rate, demographics where YouTube returns them, traffic sources, and the top videos, all in the same analytics area as the rest of your publishing.
The export modal turns the same numbers into a branded PDF with a top performing videos section when someone wants the month on paper.
One video per post, the packaging on the post instead of in a checklist, and a recovery path when YouTube says no.
A YouTube upload is still part of the same workspace. It starts as an idea, picks up video and thumbnail files, moves through review, lands on the calendar, and comes back through analytics or recovery.
Maeve schedules YouTube videos and qualifying YouTube Shorts. Each YouTube post uses one video file, a YouTube title, a description, visibility, category, tags, Made for Kids, notify subscribers, embedding, license, and thumbnail settings where YouTube allows them.
Yes. Maeve can mark a YouTube upload as a Short and can auto-detect Shorts when the selected video is square or vertical and 180 seconds or shorter. The Short still keeps its own YouTube title, description, tags, visibility, category, and schedule.
Yes. The YouTube title is separate from the captions you write for TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, Threads, X, Pinterest, and Facebook. The YouTube-specific caption becomes the YouTube description, so the same video idea can get the right setup for each platform.
Yes. YouTube uploads can use Public, Unlisted, or Private visibility. Maeve fetches assignable YouTube video categories for the connected channel, stores comma-separated tags as a tag array, and includes Made for Kids, notify subscribers, embeddable, and license settings in the upload metadata.
Yes for standard YouTube videos. You can upload a JPEG or PNG thumbnail, import one through the media picker, or choose one from Media Room. Custom thumbnails depend on YouTube channel verification. Shorts thumbnails are handled inside YouTube rather than through this API flow.
Yes. Pick a video from Media Room, keep reusable videos and thumbnail files in folders, add labels, and attach the selected video to the YouTube version before it goes to the Calendar.
Yes. YouTube Analytics Reports include channel overview metrics such as subscribers, total views, engagement, engagement rate, watch time, average view duration, subscribers gained, subscribers lost, demographics where available, traffic sources, and top-performing videos.
Failed Post Recovery applies to YouTube. If YouTube rejects the upload, the account needs reconnecting, quota gets in the way, or the media or metadata needs a fix, the post keeps its title, description, video, thumbnail context, and schedule history so you do not have to rebuild it from scratch.
Yes, where your workspace uses those workflows. A YouTube video can move through internal approval or a client review batch before it is scheduled, so reviewers can check the title, description, video, thumbnail, and publish time before it goes live.
YouTube uploads use the same Maeve workflow as other scheduled posts. A video can move through idea, in progress, review, approved, scheduled, published, and failed states on the Board while the Calendar keeps the publish time visible.
The current YouTube upload intake supports one video file per YouTube post, with MP4 and MOV validation in the composer. The shared media upload limit is temporarily capped at 512MB while long-form upload support is being hardened.
No. The current YouTube scheduler is for video uploads and Shorts-style video uploads. It does not publish YouTube Community posts, polls, image posts, live streams, or Premieres.
Not today. YouTube scheduling and YouTube analytics are supported, but YouTube comment management is not part of the current Social Inbox.
