Posting on YouTube with Ocoya

How to create, preview and schedule a YouTube video post from Ocoya.

Written by Joe

Once your YouTube channel is connected (see Connecting your YouTube account to Ocoya), you can create and schedule video posts directly from Ocoya's content calendar.

Creating a YouTube post

  1. Open the post composer and select the YouTube icon from the list of connected profiles. Write your video title and description in the caption field.

Your post will now appear on your content calendar and will publish to YouTube automatically at the scheduled time.


Media considerations

  • Ocoya supports standard YouTube video formats such as MP4 and MOV.

  • Larger video files may take longer to upload and process before they can be scheduled.

  • Make sure your video meets YouTube's own content and community guidelines, as Ocoya publishes directly to your channel.


Troubleshooting YouTube posting issues

Publishing failed

Check that:

  • Your video file uploaded completely before scheduling.

  • Your YouTube account is still connected in Connections.

  • Your video meets YouTube's format and content requirements.

Video stuck processing

Large video files can take a few minutes to upload and process. If it doesn't complete after a while, try removing the attachment and re-uploading it.
