Sign in with Google
Sign in with the Google account that owns the channel and approve upload access.
One channel per connection, and no selection screen — YouTube returns the channel for the account you signed in with. To publish to a second channel, connect again with that channel’s account.
256 MB is the most generous video size of any network Ocoya supports — but keep the video vertical and short enough for YouTube to treat it as a Short.
Published posts link to youtube.com/shorts/.... If YouTube decides a video doesn’t qualify as a Short — usually because it’s too long or not vertical — it stays on your channel as a normal video at its regular watch URL.
“My image was rejected.” Shorts are video-only. Use a video, or publish the image to another channel.“Upload failed for a large file.” Anything over 256 MB is refused. Compress or trim it first.“It published as a normal video, not a Short.” That’s YouTube’s call, based on length and aspect ratio, not something Ocoya sets.
The other short-video channel, with different rules.
