How YouTube publishing works
The /youtube page is your control center for connecting a channel, choosing the publishing pace, adding clips to the queue and letting AI prepare metadata before upload.
✓ Clips are published to your own channel. You control visibility, order and schedule.

Quick questions
Can it publish without approving every clip?
Yes, if automatic publishing is enabled and clips are in the queue. You can also add them manually.
Can I write the title and description myself?
Yes. Turn off automatic metadata for that clip and the manual fields will be used.
What is Video language?
It is the YouTube Studio setting for the spoken language in the video. LongToShorts can detect it from context.
Do I need to keep the browser open?
No. Publishing runs server-side through cron/worker if hosting is configured correctly.
