Direct publishing from Google Drive: drop the video in and it goes out on schedule
With CLAQON direct publishing, the videos you drop in the “Publicar” folder of your Google Drive become projects – with no editing, with captions or with full editing, and with their title and description – and are published at the time you set. It is in beta and comes switched off: you enable it for each account.
- Your Drive folder as an inbox
- Up to 4 publishing times per account
- Automatic or manual approval
What it solves
You already have the videos; what you lack is time to publish them
If you record your own footage, the heavy lifting is not the video: it is uploading it to each platform, writing a title and a description for each one, adding captions and remembering to publish it at a sensible time.
Direct publishing turns a Drive folder into your outbox. You drop the file in and CLAQON does the rest according to what you have chosen for the account, with the option of reviewing it first. No research and no script: your video, as it is or with the editing you choose.
How it works
From the Drive folder to publication
You enable the account
You choose the editing, how the title is set, whether you approve or approval is automatic, and at what times it publishes.
You drop the video in Drive
You copy it into the “Publicar” subfolder of the account’s videos folder. If you do not want to wait for the next read, you click “Sync now”.
It becomes a project
With no editing, with captions (local transcription and karaoke captions) or with full editing. The title comes from the file name or from AI.
It is approved
Automatically by default, or by hand, with the details of each destination in view.
It goes out on schedule
Approved videos wait for their slot, up to 4 a day per account, or you publish them straight away with “Publish now”.

Simple mode
Simple mode: the panel reduced to what you use
For anyone who only wants to publish their videos, Simple mode trims the panel down to seven sections. It is a switch in your browser, in beta.
It only hides
Home, Videos, Uploads, Accounts, Results, Connections and Guides. The rest of the panel is hidden, but nothing is deleted or taken apart: you can go back to full mode whenever you want.
The “Videos” section
Each video with its player, its text, its text per platform and the editor, with “Replace the video” or “Save as a new video”.
Accounts that are ready from the start
An account created in Simple mode starts out as direct publishing. The others are shown with a notice and a button to full mode.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about direct publishing
What is CLAQON direct publishing?
A way to publish your own videos without going through the shorts factory: you drop them in the “Publicar” subfolder of your Google Drive and CLAQON turns them into projects, gives them a title and a description and publishes them at the time you set. It is in beta and off by default.
Which platforms does it publish to?
With “No editing”, only YouTube. With captions or full editing, also Instagram and Facebook, each with its own text. X is left out for now and TikTok is not supported.
Can I review the title and description before publishing?
Yes. With manual approval, each video waits until you approve it, and in the “Videos” section of Simple mode you see the player, the text for each platform and the editor before deciding.
What is Simple mode?
A switch in your browser that trims the panel down to seven sections: Home, Videos, Uploads, Accounts, Results, Connections and Guides. It only hides: it does not delete or change anything, and you can go back to full mode whenever you want.
Does publishing this way cost anything?
Publishing your video with the title taken from the file name does not use paid AI. The AI title and description, frames and full editing with the AI director are paid options: they come switched off and each one shows its estimated cost before you accept it.
