YouTube can't publish without a video.
Counted in Unicode code points: one plain character is one, and a link costs its full length.
Questions
- Is this YouTube post preview free?
- Yes. There is no login and no upload: it runs entirely in your browser, and nothing you type or attach leaves your device.
- Does the preview match what YouTube actually shows?
- It is the same chrome our studio uses before a post publishes: YouTube's current header layout, action row and media grid, in either of YouTube's themes. Engagement numbers are decorative, as in every scheduler's preview.
- Does YouTube cut the post off in the feed?
- YouTube shows the whole post in the feed - nothing folds, so the 5,000-character limit is the only cut.
- How long can a YouTube post be?
- 5,000 characters. Counted in Unicode code points: one plain character is one, and a link costs its full length.
Where these numbers come from: our sourced YouTube spec page, every figure carrying its citation and the date we last checked it.

We built these because our own agents count against exactly these limits before they publish. Let them write the post too.
