Keeping a YouTube channel active takes production time most businesses do not have.

Keeping YouTube active means coming up with an idea, making the video, writing the description, and getting it published. That is a lot of production work for one more social media account.

Give Apaya a brief, topic, or page from your website. It creates a short video using animated text and branded designs, writes the social media caption, and handles scheduled publishing. You can also start with your own footage.

Everything the YouTube Shorts scheduler handles, from AI video to published Short.

Connect your YouTube channel, let Apaya create the video, and choose when it goes live. You can also upload your own footage and schedule YouTube Shorts through the same publishing workflow.

Your channel

Bring your YouTube channel into Apaya.

  • Connect with the Google account that manages your channel
  • Keep each brand connected to the right YouTube channel
  • Manage YouTube alongside your other social media accounts

Connect your channel once in Brand Framework, under Social Connections. From there, your YouTube videos become part of the content you manage in Apaya. Agencies can keep a different channel connected for each client brand.

AI video creation

Apaya creates the video for you.

  • Start with a brief, topic, website content, or webpage URL
  • AI writes the on-screen text and social media caption
  • Apaya creates a short video with animated text and branded designs using a video template

Open Create Reel and choose Apaya Generated. Give Apaya the business information you want to share, and it turns that input into a branded, animated video. It also writes the caption and hashtags used for the YouTube description. Have footage ready? Choose Upload My Own instead and prepare its caption in the same workspace. Explore Apaya's AI social media content creation tools.

Scheduling

Schedule YouTube Shorts in advance on the same calendar as your other posts.

  • Publish now or choose a future date and time
  • Prepare your video posts when you have time
  • See YouTube and your other social media posts on one calendar

Once the video and YouTube settings are ready, the YouTube Shorts scheduler handles the upload at the scheduled time. Use the same social media calendar you use for the rest of your accounts.

Create videos without filming every update.

Turn a service explanation, product message, or business tip into a short, branded video. Apaya writes the text and animates it using a video template, so you have something ready to publish without recording new footage.

Your own footage works too.

Upload a product demo, a look at your recent work, or a team introduction. Prepare its social media caption and schedule it for YouTube. You can also select other connected platforms that support the video.

Keep your business visible on your channel.

Share product explanations, service updates, team introductions, and recent work. Give people useful videos to watch when they visit your YouTube channel.

Keep client channels organized.

Agencies can connect the correct YouTube channel inside each client brand. The video content, publishing choices, and schedule stay with that brand. Explore Apaya for agencies.

Built for businesses that want to schedule YouTube Shorts without a production schedule.

Turn your services, offers, and business tips into short, branded videos. Add your own footage whenever you have something to show.

Whether you run a small business or manage client accounts, Apaya handles video creation, social media captions, scheduling, and YouTube publishing in one place.
