Can my AI assistant post a video?
Yes, as a scheduled post. A chat cannot receive a video file, so add the video in Socialync first and then ask your assistant to schedule it. It can find a video you uploaded recently, or one already in a draft or a scheduled post, or you can give it a public video link. An upload that no post uses is cleaned up after about 12 hours. Posts that publish immediately through an assistant carry text and images only.

The steps
- In Socialync, start a post and add the video. You do not need to finish the post.
- In your assistant, ask it to schedule that video. With list_media it can find a video you uploaded recently or one already in a draft or a scheduled post, or it can use a public https video link you give it.
- Check the caption, platforms and time it shows you, and say yes in chat.
- YouTube needs a title. A video post cannot also carry images.
Scheduled posts can reach Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, and Bluesky. X needs a paid plan. TikTok also takes a scheduled photo post made of images.
How long an upload waits
An upload that no post uses is cleaned up about 12 hours after you upload it, so schedule it soon. Once a post uses it, the video is kept until the post publishes.
Media your assistant makes itself
If your assistant renders slides or a video, it asks Socialync for upload links with create_media_upload, sends the files, and then calls finalize_media_upload. A batch is up to 10 images or exactly one video. Some chat apps cannot reach the upload server from their sandbox, and then the assistant should offer to use a file you add in Socialync.
