Integration
Schedule and publish to YouTube
Upload once to SPREVA, write the title and description, pick a thumbnail, and let it go up to your channel now, on a date or through a queue.
What you can publish
Videos
One video per post, uploaded to your channel with a title and a description.
What SPREVA checks before it publishes
Every post is checked against these limits for each YouTube account you picked, in the editor and again right before it goes out, so a problem shows up while you can still fix it.
- Title
- Required, up to 100 characters, without < or >
- Description
- 5,000 bytes, without < or >; an emoji or an accented or non-Latin letter takes more than one
- Thumbnail
- JPEG or PNG, up to 2 MB
Checked against SPREVA and YouTube's documentation: September 2026.
How connecting works
You sign in with Google and approve SPREVA for the channel that belongs to that Google account.
SPREVA never sees your password. Access renews on its own while the channel stays connected.
What SPREVA adds
Your own thumbnail
Pick an image from your library as the video's thumbnail.
The AI-content label
Tell YouTube when a video was made with AI, straight from the editor.
Uploads that resume
Videos go up in pieces. If an upload is interrupted, SPREVA carries on from the last piece YouTube confirmed instead of starting over.
And as on every network: its own text for any account, an approximate preview, publishing now, on a date or through a queue, a retry for only the accounts that failed, and each post's numbers read back into Analytics.
Questions about YouTube
Can I schedule YouTube uploads?
Yes. Add the video in SPREVA, write its title and description, and publish now, on a date or through a queue. SPREVA uploads it to YouTube when the time comes.
Why is my YouTube description too long when it has fewer than 5,000 characters?
YouTube measures descriptions in bytes, not characters, so emoji and accented or non-Latin letters take more room. SPREVA measures the same way and tells you before you publish.
Can I set a custom thumbnail?
Yes. Any JPEG or PNG of up to 2 MB from your library.
