## Analytics

The dashboard shows daily views, estimated minutes watched, average view duration and percentage, subscribers gained and lost, and likes, plus views, likes, comments and favorites for each video, over 7, 30 or 90 days.

## Good to know

- Your subscribers are notified of every video PostQueen uploads.
- Large files take time to upload, so the scheduled time is when the upload starts, not when the video is live.
- Custom thumbnails need a verified YouTube channel, so verify yours with YouTube first.

## YouTube questions, answered.

Anything else? Write to [support@postqueen.ai](mailto:support@postqueen.ai) and a person answers.

### Can I schedule YouTube Shorts?

There is no separate Shorts option. You upload one MP4 video per post, and YouTube decides on its own which videos appear as Shorts based on their shape and length.

### Who publishes the video at my scheduled time?

PostQueen starts the upload at the time you pick, through YouTube’s official API. The video is not placed in YouTube’s own scheduler first. If the connection drops, the upload resumes where it stopped.

### How long can my video be?

YouTube allows 15 minutes on unverified channels and up to 12 hours once your channel is verified. PostQueen accepts files up to 1 GB per upload.

### Can my AI agent upload to YouTube for me?

Yes. With PostQueen added to your AI agent through the MCP server or the CLI, ask it to schedule an upload with a title, description, tags, visibility and the made-for-kids setting on the channel you connected.

### Which account do I need?

A Google account that already owns a YouTube channel. After you sign in with Google, you choose which of your channels to connect.
