YouTube Shorts & TikTok Video

YouTube Shorts

YouTube is video-only, so a connected YouTube channel always receives a short vertical video (a Short). It needs Video turned on and a VPS with FFmpeg. Connect it with your own Google app:

1. Go to console.cloud.google.com and create a project.
2. Open APIs & Services → Library, find YouTube Data API v3 and click Enable.
3. Open OAuth consent screen, choose External, and while the app is unverified add your channel's Google account as a Test user.
4. Open Credentials → Create credentials → OAuth client ID → Web application. Under Authorized redirect URIs add the exact URL shown on your Social Autopilot page, which is https://yourdomain/admin/social/youtube/callback. Create it.
5. Copy the Client ID and Client secret into the Channel · YouTube Shorts card and click Connect YouTube, then sign in with your channel's Google account.

Quota: uploading a video costs a large slice of the daily YouTube quota, so the default allowance is roughly 6 uploads a day. If you need more, request a higher quota in the Google Cloud console.

TikTok video

Once your TikTok channel is connected (it needs an approved TikTok developer app with the Content Posting API and a verified domain), it can receive videos as well as photos. Regular image posts still post as photos; a generated or uploaded video posts as a video. TikTok pulls the file from a public URL on your verified domain.

Where the option is

Both connectors live under Social Autopilot → Connect / manage channels (click to expand). Each card shows the exact redirect URL to register and step-by-step notes.
