YouTube Shorts
Reelwire does not post on YouTube Shorts itself yet. Until it does, a channel on YouTube Shorts is handed over by email or by webhook, and posted from there.
Why not yet
As of September 2026: A Short is uploaded through the YouTube Data API like any video. Until Google has audited the app that uploads it, every video it uploads stays private, and uploads count against a daily quota.
Post meanwhile
Every channel on YouTube Shorts can do what every channel could before the connectors:
- By email. Switch on Email under When a post is due, and a person posts from the post kit: Post a video by hand, Let your AI assistant post it or Post through a posting service.
- By webhook. Switch on Webhook, and a system of yours posts it, with nobody in between: Post through the platforms' APIs, Let an AI session post it or Post through a posting service's API.
Posting services already post to YouTube Shorts for their customers, which is often the quickest way there.
Shapes
A channel on YouTube Shorts renders 9x16. Its text is fitted to what YouTube Shorts takes.
