How it works on YouTube
- 1
Start with an idea
Give Zolyp a topic, point it at your site, or let the plan surface one. You choose which platforms each post is for.
- 2
Yoongi creates the post, on brand
Working from your Brand Brain, Zolyp writes the caption and designs an on-brand visual, fitted to YouTube. Your voice, your colors, every time.
- 3
Schedule or publish to YouTube
Approve it, and Zolyp schedules or publishes straight to your connected YouTube account. Hand off pillars to autopilot when you trust the output, keeping a veto window.
It stays on brand because every post pulls from Brand Brain, and it all starts in Create.

How do you schedule YouTube Shorts?
YouTube Studio on a computer takes Shorts through the same upload flow as any other video, and that flow ends with a Schedule option. A Short is a file up to 3 minutes long with a square or vertical aspect ratio. Until its time, the Short stays private. Zolyp does the same from its calendar: it writes the title and description, and publishes the Short to your channel at the slot you approve.
- Sign in to YouTube Studio and click Create, then Upload videos.
- Select a file up to 3 minutes long, in a square or vertical aspect ratio, and fill in the details.
- On the visibility step, choose Schedule, then pick the date, time and time zone.
- Click Schedule. The Short stays private until then, and you can change the time from Content while it's still private.

Can you schedule YouTube posts without Zolyp?
Yes. YouTube's built-in scheduler is in YouTube Studio or the YouTube app. It handles the timing of posts you've already made; planning and writing them is still yours.
- How far ahead
- Not stated by YouTube
- Main limit
- The video stays private until its time, and won't publish during a strike's penalty period

YouTube questions
Does Zolyp publish to YouTube automatically?
Yes. Connect your channel and Zolyp publishes on your approved schedule, with a veto window before anything goes live.
Can Zolyp set a custom thumbnail on YouTube?
Yes, on a verified channel. It's meant for standard videos and may not apply to Shorts. Zolyp can set or replace one after publish.
How do I connect my YouTube account?
From Connections: click Connect and sign in.
What is the caption limit for YouTube posts?
YouTube allows up to 5,000 characters per caption, and titles up to 100 characters. Zolyp writes and trims each YouTube post to fit, so nothing is cut off when it publishes.
Can Zolyp publish images and video to YouTube?
Zolyp publishes video (any video format) to YouTube. YouTube posts from Zolyp don't support images. Media that breaks a rule is flagged before the post is queued, not when it fails to publish.
How many posts a day can Zolyp publish to YouTube?
Up to 10 per connected YouTube account. Zolyp checks the cap before a post is queued, so a busy week doesn't fail on the platform's side.
Can Zolyp reply to YouTube comments?
Yes. You can read, reply to, and delete comments on your YouTube posts from the post details drawer in Zolyp.
