How to plan a month on YouTube
One video per row
media1 holds the video link, up to 12 hours or 256 GB, YouTube's own limits. The caption column becomes the description.
Shorts need no type
A vertical or square video of up to 3 minutes publishes as a Short. Plan Shorts and long videos in the same file.
Title and settings after the import
Each video needs a title, and gets a visibility, a category and a thumbnail. Set them in Mydrop's grid before launch.
Example: Every Thursday on YouTube in November 2026 = 4 videos, 4 rows in the Mydrop CSV
Formats and limits from Mydrop's YouTube publishing, checked on October 11, 2026.
Reference
The Mydrop CSV for YouTube, column by column
What each column of the Mydrop CSV takes for a YouTube post. Build the file in any spreadsheet the same way, and Bulk Posts imports it.
| Column | For YouTube | Example |
|---|---|---|
platform | Always youtube. | youtube |
postType | Not used: a vertical video of up to 3 minutes is a Short. | (empty) |
caption | The description: up to 5,000 bytes, so emoji and styled letters take more. | Chapters: 0:00 Intro, 1:20 Setup |
media1 | One video link, up to 12 hours or 256 GB. | https://example.com/video.mp4 |
firstComment | Not used for public videos. | (empty) |
location | Not used on YouTube. | (empty) |
hashtags | Added after the description. The first 3 show above the title. | #tutorial #howto |
The title, visibility, category, playlists and thumbnail of each video are set in Mydrop's grid after the import.

Questions
YouTube content calendars, answered
The same way as videos: a vertical or square video of up to 3 minutes publishes as a Short. No separate post type.
A few. YouTube shows the first 3 above the title, and ignores every hashtag on a video that has more than 60.
5,000 bytes. Plain English letters take 1 byte each; emoji and styled letters take up to 4, so they fill the limit faster.
