Ban-risk and rate-limit safety on YouTube Shorts

Humanized posting delays

YouTube counts uploads against a daily quota. GentoPost queues and staggers uploads so a batch never exhausts the quota in one minute.

Official API only

YouTube Data API v3 via Google OAuth 2.0 (youtube.upload scope). No scraping, no session cookies, no unofficial endpoints — the practices that actually get accounts suspended.

Compression before upload

WebCodecs re-encodes on your device — a 100 MB clip becomes roughly 12 MB — so YouTube Shorts uploads finish fast and stay inside its size ceiling. Try the compressor.

YouTube Shorts publishing questions

Specifics about limits, media and compliance when GentoPost posts to YouTube Shorts.

Does GentoPost publish YouTube Shorts or long-form video?

Both are uploaded through the YouTube Data API, but the composer's defaults — 9:16 aspect, 1,000-character description, three hashtags — are tuned for Shorts.

Can I cross-post the same Short to TikTok and Reels?

Yes. Select all three channels in one composer pass; each gets its own caption length, hashtag count and CTA.
