Seamless Shorts publishing in Postly — auto-detects format and optimizes.
Postly eliminates the guesswork involved in video publishing. When you upload a file, the platform automatically analyzes the aspect ratio and duration. If your video is vertical and under 60 seconds, it is instantly recognized as a Short. This ensures your content always lands in the dedicated Shorts feed, maximizing your visibility and reach without requiring manual configuration for every single post.
A successful Short requires more than just a video. Postly allows you to schedule a first comment to go live the moment your video is published. This is a powerful way to drive traffic to your website, link to a full-length video, or spark conversation. Combined with custom thumbnail support, you have all the tools needed to drive higher click-through rates and engagement.
Your vertical video content shouldn't be limited to one platform. Postly allows you to take the same video scheduled for YouTube Shorts and cross-post it to Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Facebook Reels simultaneously. This unified workflow saves hours of repetitive work, ensuring your brand maintains a consistent presence across the entire short-form video landscape from a single dashboard.
Securely link your YouTube account to Postly via the platform settings. If you manage multiple brands, you can connect several channels and organize them into separate workspaces to keep your content streams distinct and organized.
Upload your vertical video file. Postly will auto-detect it as a Short. Add your title, description, and tags. You can also set up your first comment and select a custom thumbnail to ensure your video is fully optimized for the YouTube algorithm.
Choose the specific date and time for your Short to go live. Use the visual calendar to see how your Shorts fit into your overall social media strategy, then hit schedule. Postly will handle the auto-publishing at the exact moment you've chosen.
