Video pins that play on Pinterest
Your YouTube title, as the pin title
Your YouTube title becomes the pin title, and the description follows, up to 500 characters.
Shorts by default
Shorts go by default. Long videos are opt-in and post when they're 5 minutes or less, Pinterest's limit.
Each pin links back
Each pin links to its YouTube video, or to your own link, like your site. Pick the board in the workflow's settings.
Older Shorts too
Turn on existing posts to pin Shorts you've already uploaded, on paid plans and the free trial.
YouTube to Pinterest questions
Can you post YouTube Shorts on Pinterest?
Yes, your own. PostOnce uploads each new Short from your channel to Pinterest as a video pin, through Pinterest's official posting API.
Why don't YouTube videos play on Pinterest?
A pinned YouTube link shows the thumbnail and opens YouTube. A video pin is uploaded to Pinterest, so it plays there.
Can I add my YouTube link to the pin?
Yes. Each pin links to its YouTube video. To send people somewhere else, like your site, set Pin link in the workflow's settings.
What happens to videos longer than 5 minutes?
They don't post, because Pinterest takes video pins up to 5 minutes. Shorts always fit.
Will posting on Pinterest hurt my YouTube views?
No. PostOnce only reads from your channel, so nothing changes on YouTube. It posts to Pinterest through Pinterest's official posting API, the same one schedulers use. How a pin does depends on your Pinterest account and the pin.
