Supported Platforms and Video Types

  • Facebook: Schedule regular videos or leverage the trendy Reels format. Reels require videos between 4-90 seconds and a 9:16 aspect ratio.

  • X (formerly Twitter): Schedule standard video content up to two minutes and 20 seconds in length.
  • LinkedIn: Share your expertise with standard video posts.
  • Pinterest: Capture attention with engaging video pins. These can be 4 seconds to 15 minutes long and ideally formatted as squares (1:1) or verticals (2:3 or 9:16).
  • YouTube (Beta): Schedule videos and Shorts (under 60 seconds, square/vertical).
  • TikTok: Coming soon!

General Steps for Posting Videos (all platforms)

  1. Select the specific social media platform’s icon in your Queue.
  2. Choose the "Video" option from the post type menu in the Post Editor.
  3. Upload your video file (.MP4, .MOV, or .M4V formats are accepted, though Reels require .MP4 or .MOV only). Drag and drop your video file or browse to select it from your computer.
  4. Fill in any required text fields (titles, descriptions, etc.).
  5. Schedule your post to the date and time of your choosing or post immediately using the Post Now option in the Post Editor.

Platform Specific Considerations

Facebook Reels: By default, videos are uploaded as Reels. You can disable this option for regular videos and add a title.

Instagram Reels: The "Post to Feed and Reels" toggle is enabled by default. Disable it for standard posts. Consider adding a Smartlink to connect viewers to your content through the Smartlink.bio URL in your profile.

YouTube: Since it's currently in Beta, some functionalities may differ from the native platform. Though you can utilize additional options like "Visibility," "Playlist," "Tags," etc. for optimal video presentation. Videos under 60 seconds with a square or vertical orientation will enable the Post as Short toggle switch by default.
