Frequently asked questions
Does YouTube limit uploads per day via API?
The default API quota allows ~6 uploads/day per channel. For creator agencies that need more, you can request an increase directly with Google (we help with the process).
Can I schedule a live stream?
Scheduling a live (creating the event) yes. Streaming itself is via OBS or Streamlabs at the scheduled time.
Do Shorts perform better than long-form for an agency?
It depends on the channel. Shorts bring fast reach but convert less into engaged subscriptions. Long-form builds loyal audience. Ideal strategy: Shorts for top of funnel, long-form for middle/bottom.
Are thumbnails essential?
For long-form, yes — the thumbnail is the #1 CTR factor. For Shorts it is less relevant because the feed shows a preview. We recommend thumbnails only for long-form.
Does the report integrate with Google Ads?
If you run Discovery or Video Ads campaigns on Google Ads, yes — they appear in the same client dashboard.
