Managing Your YouTube Connection in Properti
Properti allows you to connect your YouTube account so you can seamlessly publish video posts to your channel. This article covers everything you need to know about connecting, refreshing, and troubleshooting your YouTube integration.
Connecting Your YouTube Account
-
In your Properti workspace, go to Apps.
-
Select YouTube.
-
Click Connect Account.
-
Log in with the Google account linked to your YouTube channel.
-
Grant the requested permissions.
-
Once connected, your YouTube account will appear in the dropdown menu.
Refreshing Your YouTube Connection
Sometimes the YouTube connection may expire due to a password change, Google security updates, or token expiry. If this happens, refreshing your connection ensures posts continue publishing as scheduled.
-
In your Properti workspace, go to Apps.
-
Select YouTube.
-
Click Refresh Connection.
-
Log in with your YouTube account.
-
Hit Save.
-
Your account should appear in the dropdown once successfully reconnected.
Disconnecting and Reconnecting
If refreshing does not resolve the issue, you may need to disconnect and reconnect:
-
Go to Apps > YouTube.
-
Click Delete Connection.
-
Select Connect Account again and log in with your YouTube credentials.
Posting YouTube Shorts
YouTube automatically manages Shorts for you. If you upload a vertical video under 5 minutes, it will automatically be tagged as a Short by YouTube.
From within Properti, simply:
-
Upload your vertical video to YouTube through your Properti workspace.
-
No additional selections or changes are required.
-
Once published, YouTube will automatically recognise it as a Short.
👉 Tip: Ensure your video is vertical (portrait orientation) and less than 5 minutes long to qualify as a Short.

Posts not publishing? Check if your YouTube connection is still active under Apps.
-
Wrong account showing? Make sure you are logged into the correct Google account before connecting.
-
Permissions issue? When prompted, ensure you grant all requested permissions to allow Properti to publish to your channel.
