💻 Environment/Context

• Social media

❓ Issue/Question

• How do I send content to YouTube?
• How do I share a clip directly on YouTube, Instagram or TikTok?

👌 Resolution/Answer

• Link your social accounts
  • Go to Distribution > Social Media and check that your accounts are listed

• Open the Publish tab
  • Open a video from the Media library or a live stream and start a clip
  • The Publish tab opens by default in the right-side panel

• Set the clip output
  • Open Clip output, which applies to all destinations
  • File quality: FULL HD by default. Social platforms post in this quality, so keeping it avoids an extra transcoding step

  • Pick the audio tracks to keep, when the video has more than one

• Send the clip to the Media library
  • Turn on Destinations > Media library 
  • Enter the Clip name, which becomes the file name in the Media library
  • Select a Collection and add Tags
  • Turn on Set files as private, or limit the clip to specific account types in Available to

  • Under Social media, turn on each account you want to post to (Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, X, Bluesky)
  • Write the Post caption
  • For YouTube, enter a Title and a Description
  • Type @ in the caption to mention an account on the published post
  • Click Apply to all destinations to copy the caption to your other accounts
  • Click Save
  • An account appears disabled when the clip is longer or larger than that platform allows (see platforms duration and file size limits in the Notes below)

• Publish the clip
  • Click Publish
  • Notifications show when the clip is created and when it's posted

🔖 Notes

• The social media publishing feature must be enabled on your platform to publish clips. To enable it, reach out to your CSM or the ScorePlay Support team via the Live Chat

• Each platform has its own duration and file size limits. A destination is automatically disabled if the clip exceeds either limit:

• X Premium limits apply once Premium is enabled for your organization. You can reach out to the ScorePlay support team via the Live Chat to enable it
• You can publish clips only. Full videos, scheduling, stories, and geotargeting aren't supported yet
