Before uploading to X or Instagram, it checks what each one accepts; afterwards, it keeps an eye on the YouTube quota, connection expiry and whether what was published stayed visible.

Platforms ## Where CLAQON publishes your videos Video - YouTube - Instagram - Facebook - X For uploading the master - Google Drive TikTok is not available: the code exists, but publishing there is disabled until the app has been audited. The trademarks mentioned belong to their owners and are cited only to indicate compatibility. What it solves ## How do you publish on four platforms without monitoring each one by hand? Each platform accepts different lengths, sizes and formats, has its own quotas, and its tokens expire without warning. A video that is too long for X fails after the whole file has been uploaded, and an unaudited Google project leaves your videos private even if you uploaded them as public. CLAQON keeps track of all that for you: it checks what X and Instagram accept before spending the call, publishes at your audience’s local time, monitors the quota and the connections, and alerts you with the reason and the next step when something does not go out. How it works ## From connection to the post-publication check 1. **You connect each platform once** YouTube with one button, using your installation’s Google app or one belonging to the account. Instagram and Facebook, with a permanent Page token. X, with OAuth 2.0 and automatic renewal. 2. **You choose the market and slots** There are 12 markets with local times per platform. Each account publishes in up to 4 slots a day, at least 90 minutes apart, and each slot explains what time it is for your audience and for you. 3. **It is checked before uploading** On X and Instagram, if the video does not meet what the platform accepts, it is skipped with its own code, without spending the call. 4. **It is published and verified** The upload to YouTube is resumable, and CLAQON checks that the video ended up public and processed. If there are generated scenes, synthetic content is disclosed. 5. **It is monitored afterwards** Translated captions, quota by bucket and, in beta, a check of what was published over 7 days. Capabilities ## Publishing, quotas and connections - **YouTube: Shorts and long-form video**: One-button connection, resumable upload, a check that the video ended up public and processed, and a synthetic content disclosure where applicable. - **Translated captions on YouTube**: Original track and 6 translations (Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Hindi and Indonesian), with localised title and description. - **YouTube quota by bucket**: Counts your Google project’s quota with the 2026 buckets: uploads (100 calls a day), searches (100) and general (10,000 units). It postpones translations that do not fit to the next day and never blocks the video upload. - **Instagram Reels and Facebook Reels**: With a permanent Page token, the same one for both platforms. If Instagram has used up your publishing limit, the piece is skipped without a retry (in beta). - **X**: OAuth 2.0 with automatic token renewal. Each post has a cost on X; when you publish by hand, you accept it separately. - **Slot scheduling**: 12 markets, each with its time zone, language and slots per platform. If your machine is going to be off at the time of a slot, the slot is brought forward to the last usable moment. - **Connection expiry**: A history for each connection, a notice before it expires, an alert when there are 3 or more reconnections in 30 days and the probable cause when Google rejects the permission. Before asking for your consent again, it tests the saved permission. - **Specifications per platform**: X: up to 140 seconds and 512 MB. Instagram Reels: from 3 seconds to 15 minutes, 23 to 60 fps and up to 300 MB. YouTube Shorts: up to 180 seconds, vertical or square; this last limit serves as a reference for alerts. - **Google failure when publishing**: It closes with the exact diagnosis, keeps the video and does not retry. - **Post-publication check Beta**: For 7 days it reviews what was published and detects “forced private”, “disclosure pending”, “no video” and “Facebook not published”. Today it only reports: it does not close the log. - **Assets from each render Beta**: For long-form video, chapters with “Copy” and 3 downloadable thumbnails. For every video, its provenance record. Limits ## Publishing limits worth knowing Without the YouTube API audit, videos stay private If your Google project has not passed the YouTube API audit, YouTube keeps videos uploaded through the API private even when they are requested as public. CLAQON detects this and alerts you with the steps to request the audit, but it cannot prevent it: in the meantime, you make them public from YouTube Studio. - It does not publish to TikTok: that is disabled until the app has been audited. - It publishes video on these four platforms and nowhere else; for text on social platforms there is [Tinta](https://claqon.com/en/features/tinta-social-posts/), in beta. - Instagram and Facebook download the video from your Google Drive, where the file is shared with a public link. - To connect platforms you need your own domain with HTTPS, for example through a tunnel, and your own apps: Google, Meta and, if you publish on X, a developer app with a paid API plan. - There is no button to upload the thumbnail to YouTube: the variants are downloaded and you upload them yourself. Frequently asked questions ## Questions about publishing to social platforms ### Does CLAQON publish to TikTok? No. The TikTok publishing code exists, but it is deliberately disabled until the app has been audited. Today it publishes video to YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and X. ### Why do my YouTube videos come out private? Because YouTube keeps videos uploaded through the API private when they come from Google projects that have not passed its audit. CLAQON detects this and opens an alert with the steps to request it; in the meantime, the videos are made public from YouTube Studio. ### Can I choose what time each video is published? Yes. Each account has a market with local times per platform and up to 4 slots a day, at least 90 minutes apart. Each slot tells you what time it is for your audience and for you, and it is brought forward if your machine is going to be off. ### What happens if a connection expires? You get an alert before it expires, with its history and, if Google rejects the permission, the probable cause. The daily check tests the connections and renews the tokens that can be renewed. Before asking for your consent again, CLAQON tests the saved permission. ### Does publishing on X cost anything? Yes: the X API charges for each post. That is why, when you publish by hand, CLAQON asks you to accept that cost separately, and the spend is logged. [See spend control](https://claqon.com/en/features/spend-control/).
