Schedule YouTube Shorts and analyze YouTube analytics
Publish Shorts for your channels or your clients' channels at the scheduled time, reply to comments in the inbox and see where your views come from and how long viewers stay.
Upload YouTube Shorts – without surprises
ContentMate checks every video while you plan, so the upload works at the scheduled time.
One video up to 3 minutes
MP4 or MOV, square or vertical, at most 180 seconds. If a video does not fit, the planner tells you beforehand what to change.
Title and description
A title of up to 100 characters and a description of up to 5,000 characters, right in the post.
Visibility and audience
Public, unlisted or private, and whether the video is made for kids – you set both explicitly for each Short.
On time
ContentMate uploads the video privately 30 minutes ahead and switches it to the chosen visibility at the scheduled time.

YouTube statistics for every channel
More than views: YouTube analytics in detail
ContentMate reads YouTube Analytics and YouTube's reports. You see why a video works – not just that it works.
Traffic sources
Views and watch time by traffic source, device type, playback location and subscription status – plus the top search terms and external websites.
Audience
Age and gender of your viewers plus the countries with views, watch time and new subscribers, each for the last 28 days.
Figures per video
Views, likes, comments, shares, playlist additions, new subscribers and watch time per video, split into Shorts, videos and live streams.
Audience retention
For every moment of a video, how many viewers are still watching – and how it compares with videos of similar length.
Thumbnails and end screens
Thumbnail impressions and click-through rate by video and traffic source, plus clicks on end screen elements.
Revenue
Estimated revenue, ad revenue, YouTube Premium, monetized playbacks and CPM – with the revenue permission.
How to get started with YouTube
- 1
Connect your channel
Connect your YouTube channel via Google. If a permission is missing, for example for revenue, you can grant it later.
- 2
Create a Short
Upload a video or pick one from the media library, set title, visibility and audience. ContentMate checks format and length right away.
- 3
Get approval
Optionally your team reviews internally, then your client approves the Short in the client portal (from the Agency plan on).
- 4
Publish automatically
ContentMate uploads privately ahead of time and switches the Short to the chosen visibility at the scheduled time.
