Frequently asked questions

Can I change the thumbnail after scheduling?

Yes, as long as the video has not published yet, open it from the Scheduler calendar to change the thumbnail or other options.

Does Perroly handle YouTube analytics?

Yes, Perroly shows channel stats (subscribers, views) and lets you reply to comments, on top of scheduling.

Can I schedule a Short and a regular video on the same day?

Yes, each upload is handled independently: schedule as many videos and Shorts as needed, on different dates or the same one.

Is a custom thumbnail required?

No, without one added, YouTube generates one automatically from the video.

Can I reply to a video’s comments before it publishes?

No, comments only exist once the video is public. Once it is live, you can reply to them directly from Perroly.
