Audit status shown
Until Google approves Selfpost's YouTube API audit, videos uploaded through Selfpost are private; change visibility in YouTube Studio afterwards.
Shorts uploads that respect the channel's actual status.
Until Google approves Selfpost's YouTube API audit, uploads are private, and YouTube meters API usage. Both are shown before you schedule so a Short doesn't quietly land as a private video.

Channel status, before the upload matters
The connected channel, the audit-driven visibility limit, and the visibility a post will actually receive are shown while you can still act.

Every destination is checked before you schedule, so a platform rule stops the post here rather than at the publish time you were counting on.
/w/[workspaceId]/composerHonest about what YouTube will accept
The most common surprise with YouTube publishing is an upload that succeeds and then is not public. Selfpost treats that as something to warn about, not to discover.
Upload controls that matter
Title, description, visibility, and audience designation are set explicitly for YouTube rather than inherited from another platform's caption.
Quota awareness
If YouTube's API quota or the channel's daily upload limit is reached, the post is marked quota-blocked with the reason instead of failing silently.
Deletion and revocation
Disconnecting a channel and removing the data associated with it is a supported, documented action.
Where YouTube restricts an upload's visibility, Selfpost reports the visibility YouTube actually applied rather than the one that was requested.
