Video post

How to create a post with a video and an optional caption.

Overview

A video post is one video with an optional caption. You upload the video, add a caption if you want, pick which accounts get it, and publish or schedule. It works on Facebook, Bluesky, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Threads, YouTube, Pinterest, TikTok, and Instagram.

How to create a video post

  1. Open the Composer and add a video (drag and drop or click to upload). Add a caption if you like.
    Or go to CreateVideo post and upload the video there.
  2. Click Continue (if you started in the Composer).
  3. Select the accounts that should receive the post.
  4. Click Publish now to post right away, or Schedule to choose a date and time.

We check that your video’s aspect ratio and length are supported. If something isn’t allowed (e.g. wrong aspect ratio), we’ll show a message so you can fix it.

Where video posts work

  • Facebook, Bluesky, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Threads, YouTube, Pinterest, TikTok, Instagram

Limits you’ll notice

  • Length — Most platforms have a max length (e.g. TikTok often under 10 minutes). Keep your video within those limits.
  • Aspect ratio — Common ratios like 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4 are supported. If your file doesn’t match, we’ll ask you to use a different file or trim it.

Tips

  • Vertical (9:16) works well for TikTok and Instagram Reels; horizontal (16:9) for YouTube.
  • Big files can take a while to upload. Wait for the upload to finish before publishing or scheduling.

Common questions

Q: Can I add more than one video in one post?
A: For a single post with multiple videos, use Collection. For a series of posts (e.g. a thread), use Thread.

Q: Why did my video fail to upload?
A: Check the file size and length for the platforms you chose. If you see an error about aspect ratio, use a supported ratio (e.g. 16:9 or 9:16).
