Publishing Youtube video with setting the video category

Feature Request

Hello,

Very important feature to add is to allow Late API users to set the category of published Youtube video.

One thing that I wanted to do is to set the category of the Youtube short but unfortunetly this is not supported.

Thanks,

    Good news, this is already supported!

    When creating a YouTube post, set platformSpecificData.categoryId to any YouTube category ID (for example 20 for Gaming, 27 for Education, 22 for People & Blogs). It defaults to 22 if omitted, and it applies to Shorts too since they go through the same upload path.

    Field reference and examples here: docs.zernio.com/platforms/youtube#platform-specific-fields. Thanks for the request!
