Troubleshooting

Ensure your video meets YouTube’s supported file formats and size limits. Also, check if your channel has any community strikes that might prevent uploading.
PaddyPost automatically detects if a video qualifies as a “Short” based on its duration (under 60 seconds) and aspect ratio (vertical). You do not need to select a specific option for Shorts; just upload the video.
