Does Feedloop really publish directly to YouTube?

Yes — we use YouTube's official API, not a browser automation hack. Your post lands the same way it would if you'd opened the YouTube app and tapped Publish.

Do I need a YouTube business account?

No. Any active YouTube account works. Just connect it once via OAuth.

What does it cost to schedule YouTube posts with Feedloop?

Feedloop has a free tier you can use to schedule YouTube posts. Paid plans unlock higher volume and additional connected accounts. We accept USD via Polar and Ethiopian Birr via Telebirr.

Can I auto-post to YouTube from an RSS feed?

YouTube only accepts video uploads — that's a YouTube restriction, not a Feedloop limitation. RSS-to-YouTube works when your feed carries video enclosures (a video podcast feed, a Vimeo/Loom feed, your own CMS exporting video URLs). Plain text-blog RSS won't auto-publish to YouTube; for that workflow, upload videos via the in-dashboard composer or have an AI assistant via MCP do it for you. When publishing does happen, Feedloop auto-truncates at word boundaries to fit YouTube's character limit and dedupes by feed item ID so the same entry never ships twice.

How is this different from Buffer, Hootsuite, or dlvr.it for YouTube posting?

Buffer is composer-first — you still write every YouTube post by hand. Hootsuite is enterprise-priced with team workflows we don't try to match. dlvr.it has the same RSS-first shape Feedloop does but no MCP support. Feedloop's wedge is RSS-driven automation + native YouTube formatting + a Model Context Protocol server that lets Claude / ChatGPT / Cursor / Gemini drive your YouTube pipeline directly.

Can I plan YouTube posts in Notion and have Feedloop publish them?

Yes. Feedloop has native two-way Notion sync — duplicate the free Feedloop Content Calendar template (or connect an existing Notion calendar), tag each row with YouTube as a channel and a Scheduled date, and Feedloop turns each row into a real YouTube post on schedule. Edits in Notion flow back into the queue within ~60 seconds via Notion's webhook (with a 5-minute poll fallback). After publish, the row's status flips to Published and the live YouTube URL writes back into the row. No Zapier in the middle, no 5-step setup, and it's free on every Feedloop plan.

Can Claude or ChatGPT schedule YouTube posts for me?

Yes. Feedloop exposes its publishing tools through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), so any MCP-compatible AI client — Claude (web, desktop, code), ChatGPT, Cursor, Gemini, Windsurf, VS Code, Cline, Codex, LM Studio, Cherry Studio, Jan, AnythingLLM — can draft and schedule YouTube posts on your behalf. You authorize the connection once and the assistant can queue, reorder, or publish to YouTube without you switching tabs.

Can I see which YouTube posts actually work? What stats does Feedloop give me?

Yes — the Deeper insights tab exposes 22 statistical cuts specifically built for content optimization. For YouTube, the most useful are: caption sweet-spot (which caption length range gets the best engagement rate on YouTube specifically), hashtag sweet-spot (the optimal hashtag count per post for YouTube), engagement rate across 3 denominators (reach, impressions, followers), posting-time heatmap (7×24 grid showing when YouTube engagement is highest for YOUR audience), and a bait classifier that flags posts whose engagement spikes correlate with low-quality interactions. The same insights are available as MCP tools so Claude / ChatGPT can pull "what caption length should I use for YouTube?" directly into the chat. On Pro you can also schedule a white-label PDF report with your logo and brand color, delivered monthly to your inbox.

What happens if a YouTube post fails to publish?

The worker retries with exponential backoff before surfacing the failure for manual review. You'll see the exact YouTube API error message in the queue and can either retry, edit the post, or remove it. Token-expiry failures auto-trigger a refresh through OAuth — you only get a re-auth prompt when the refresh itself fails.

Native formatting

Posts that look native, not pasted

Cross-posting the same text everywhere produces broken YouTube posts — truncated mid-word, missing media, wrong aspect ratio. Feedloop reshapes the post to YouTube's native format before it ships. Specific to YouTube: 5000 chars body, video required.
