    Note:

    For YouTube, one video upload at a time is supported. Hover over the media information tooltip to see our recommended specifications for YouTube videos or shorts. YouTube determines whether a video is a Short. Any video that’s in 9:16 format and under 3 minutes long is automatically classified as a Short.YouTube video and short media specifications.png
