Here’s how to autopost from Instagram to YouTube Shorts

Here is how to autopost from Instagram to YouTube Shorts, so that every time you post on Instagram, the post gets automatically posted on YouTube Shorts (and any other social networks you select).

Using OneUp, you first connect your Instagram account and YouTube Shorts account (and any other social network you want to autopost to):

Then choose “Cross-posting” from the Create A Post dropdown options:

Then choose Instagram as the “Post from” account, and choose YouTube Shorts (and any other social network you want) as the “Post To” account:

That’s it! Now moving forward, whenever you post on Instagram, it will automatically post to your YouTube Shorts account with 2 hours of the original post.

Or you can optionally choose to add a delay so that it doesnt post to YouTube Shorts until after a few hours or days.

Here is a video showing how the autoposting process works in OneUp:

FAQ

Does this work with both image posts and video posts?
Yes, OneUp’s cross-posting works with both image and video posts.

If I add music to my Instagram post, will that music also be added to the YouTube Shorts post?
Yes, it will post the video with the music to YouTube Shorts.

If someone adds me as a collaborator on an Instagram post, will that collab post get cross-posted to my YouTube accounts?
