Honest status: needs the network’s approval
What YouTube requires of TallyReel Post: Google OAuth verification for the YouTube upload scope; unverified apps' uploads are locked to private. TallyReel Post’s connect screen shows whether YouTube is live yet — if it isn’t, we say so instead of letting posts fail.
Best time to post on YouTube
YouTube viewing peaks in the afternoon and evening, and a video needs time to be processed and indexed. Scheduling an upload an hour or two before your audience’s evening gives it a head start.
TallyReel Post starts every account from the same baseline — weekday peaks at 8 AM, 12 PM, 5 PM, 6 PM, weekend peaks at 10 AM, 11 AM, 7 PM, 8 PM, in your audience’s local time — and after about 20 published posts shifts it toward the hours that actually work for you.

- Shorts: title under 60 characters; the description carries keywords.
- Keep Shorts titles under about 60 characters so they aren’t cut off.
- Use the description for the keywords people search — YouTube is a search engine too.
- TallyReel Post uses the YouTube API Services; by connecting you also agree to YouTube’s Terms of Service.
YouTube scheduling FAQ
Why did my upload come out private?
Google locks uploads from apps that haven’t completed its verification to private. If you see this, TallyReel Post’s verification is still in progress — you can change the visibility in YouTube Studio.
How do I disconnect YouTube?
Remove the channel in TallyReel Post’s settings, and you can also revoke access any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
What’s the character limit on YouTube?
5,000 characters, plus a separate title. TallyReel Post counts the way YouTube does, so the number you see is the number YouTube will check.
Is YouTube scheduling free?
Yes — every feature and every network is free while TallyReel Post is in beta, with no card required. Beta users will get plenty of notice before paid plans start.
