Frequently asked questions
How many characters can a post on YouTube have?
When you publish through HubPost, YouTube text can be up to 5,000 characters, and titles up to 100 characters. The counter shows how many you have left and turns red as soon as you go over.
How many photos or videos can a post on YouTube have?
1 video. The preview lays them out the way YouTube shows them.
Does the preview look exactly like YouTube?
It's a close match, built from the same preview HubPost shows when you schedule a post. Fonts, crops and where long text gets cut off can still vary a little by device and app version.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
It's free and needs no sign-up. Your text and media stay in your browser and are never uploaded.
Can I schedule this post to YouTube?
Yes. Create a free HubPost account, connect YouTube, and schedule the post for any date and time, or send it to your other channels at the same time.
