There is only one video, but how many reservation screens have you opened?

About 5 minutes to read BlueCanvas

How many times does it take to schedule one video on multiple social media?

If you count the reservation steps numbered in the official help for each platform, there are 8 steps for Instagram, 7 steps for Facebook page, and 6 steps for YouTube, for a total of 21 steps. Threads was unable to find any official documentation that guided the reservation process. In BLUE POST, created by BlueCanvas, the same task is done on a single writing screen, and when you select a channel, only the fields required for that channel are opened.

Key takeaways

  • There is only one video, but if you reopen the creation screen for each channel, Upload the same file multiple times and at multiple times It will match.
  • Just count the reservation steps numbered in the official help of each platform. Instagram 8 · Facebook page 7 · YouTube 6, total 21 stepsno see. Threads was unable to find any documentation for reservation instructions.
  • Prepare on one screen One file and one time, and the phrase for each channel is “Use this channel differently” to replace only that channel.

The same editing is repeated as many times as the number of channels.

There are three things you actually do when you upload a video. All you have to do is upload the file, paste the caption, and set the reservation time. The problem is these three Start over from the beginning for each channel The point is to do it. If there are three channels, the same editing is done nine times, and the screens to check later are spread out in three places.

What's more troubling is that this repetition makes the phrase identical. When you get to the third screen, you'll usually paste the caption you wrote on the first screen. However, each channel has different character limits and link rules, and if you post the same article as is, your reach will be reduced.

I counted the reservation steps listed in the official help.

I did not feel it, but confirmed it in writing. In the scheduled posting document of each platform's official help, Only numbered steps We counted them and did not arbitrarily combine or split them. Logins and screen navigation were not counted unless the document had a number.

A total of 21 steps Three channels with reservation documentsIt is the sum of . Threads was subtracted from the total because the document could not be found, and the reservation instructions that appeared in the search were all third-party tool documents, so they were not used as a basis.

A window will open depending on the channel you selected.

BlueCanvas aims to reduce this repetition. BLUE POSTWe created it and are using it to operate our channel. There is only one creation screen, upload the file once and set the reservation time only once.

There is no need to memorize what else needs to be filled. When you select a channel The box required for that channel will then open.

  • If you choose YouTube A title field opens. You can use up to 100 characters. If you leave it blank, the first line of the text becomes the title.
  • Select Threads or Facebook Page The first comment box will open. You can use up to 2,000 characters, and the link is included here.
  • The number of characters is based on the selected channel. Count each one. Instagram 2,200 characters, Threads 500 characters, YouTube 5,000 characters.

However, the first comment It doesn't go up automatically. After publishing, copy it from the record screen and post it directly. I even wrote that on the screen.

The text for each channel is written as “Write differently for this channel only.”

If you write a common text, all channels will use it. Up to this point, it is no different from pasting. Where it changes is the preview.

After selecting a channel from the preview, “Just use this channel differently”When you press , the text box dedicated to that channel opens. This method leaves the common text as is and replaces only the selected channel. 「Revert to common text」Press to return to the original state. Because the number of characters is re-counted based on that channel, you can see on the spot whether the common text exceeds 500 characters in Threads.

Today, prepare just one video like this.

I'm not saying you should change tools. If you prepare the next video in the order below, you can immediately see what is being repeated in the current method.

  • First select the channel you want to upload to. Unconnected channels are excluded from consideration.
  • Write the common text once, and write down only the channels you will use differently. You don't have to rewrite everything.
  • Set a reservation time once. If each channel goes up at the same time, confirmation is completed at once.

The writing screen shown in this video is a reproduction. The three channels connected to the BlueCanvas account are Instagram, Threads, and YouTube. The Facebook page is also supported, but it is not connected, so it is written as unconnected on the screen.

Full video subtitles (6 scenes)

There is only one video but several screens

If you make a separate reservation for each channel, there are 21 steps just counting the steps listed in the official help. If you prepare from one creation screen, the file can be created once and at the same time.

Same treatment nine times

Upload files for each channel, paste captions, and adjust the time. The screens you want to check are also spread out in three places.

21 steps based on official help

When you select YouTube, the title field opens, and when you select Threads, the first comment field opens. The first comment will be posted directly after publication.

Just use this channel differently

Leave the common text and replace only the selected channel. The number of characters is also counted again based on that channel.

Last but not least, make a reservation

Please prepare the following video, channel-specific text, and reservation time in one place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wouldn’t it take more effort to use different text for each channel?

You don't need to rewrite everything. Once you write a common text, all the selected channels will write that text, and you can write only the channels that really need to be different. For example, if the text is long and exceeds 500 characters for Threads, shorten only Threads and leave the rest as is. Because the number of characters is displayed based on the selected channel, you can see where you need to fix it.

Why didn't you count the reservation steps in Threads?

This is because I couldn't find any documentation in the official help that guides me through the reservation process. I checked the list of publishing-related articles in Threads help, but I couldn't find any articles that covered scheduling, and all of the scheduling instructions that came up in my search were from third-party tools. If you count someone else's tool document as if it were a platform procedure, the numbers will fluctuate, so I subtracted Threads from the total of 21 steps and wrote that fact on the screen.

Is the first comment automatically uploaded?

It doesn't go up. The first comment box is where phrases are saved in advance, and after publication, people copy them from the record screen and write them directly. It also says so on the screen instructions. For Threads and Facebook pages, it is detrimental to include a link in the text, so the link is moved to the first comment. If you write the text in advance, you can just move it right after publication.

Can I also reserve a Facebook page?

BLUE POST supports posting to Facebook pages. However, since the Facebook page is not connected to the BlueCanvas account, in this video, the chip is marked as unconnected and the reservation results are drawn only with the three connected channels. If you connect from your account, you can make a reservation together in the same way as other channels, and the first comment box will also open.

Preparing your reservation in just one screen

BLUE POST reserves channels connected with one video and one common text space, and if necessary, saves the text, title, and first comment text for each channel separately. You can get started for free without payment information.
