Reels

• A Reel is exactly one video, preferably vertical (9:16).
• On Facebook a Reel can be at most 90 seconds long.
• On Instagram you choose whether the Reel also appears in your feed.
• A single video in a regular Instagram post is also published as a Reel by Instagram.

Stories

• A story is exactly one photo or video (video up to 60 seconds) and stays online for 24 hours.
• Text and link are not posted with a story. Put them in the image itself if needed.
• Links, stickers and mentions in stories can't be posted through an app; add them in the Instagram or Facebook app itself.

YouTube: video or Short

• A Short is a vertical or square video of up to 3 minutes. Socialschedulr adds #Shorts.
• A video is usually horizontal and can be longer.
• Enter a title (up to 100 characters). If you leave it empty, the first line of your text becomes the title.
• Choose the visibility: public, unlisted (only with the link) or private.
• Indicate whether the video is made for kids. YouTube requires this.
• Optional: category, tags and whether subscribers get a notification.

TikTok

• Choose who can see the video. You only see the options your TikTok account allows.
• Choose yourself whether others can comment, make a Duet or a Stitch. Everything is off by default.
• Promoting a brand, product or service? Turn on Commercial content and choose whether it's your own brand or a paid partnership.
• Was the video made with AI? Turn on Made with AI.

What if something is still missing?

Below each channel and in the preview you see in red what's still missing, for example "A Reel needs exactly one video". As long as something is missing, you can't schedule or publish, but you can save a draft.
