My YouTube is not publishing videos immediately when a video is uploaded to Instagram.


Hi, I’m trying to upload any media videos from my Instagram to upload it to Youtube, but when I test it, it doesn’t get published to Youtube. Here are my settings:

Can someone tell me why it won’t publish? I want it to publish a Youtube video immediately everytime a video is uploaded to my Instagram. Thanks!

...the error relates to the privacy status.

Hey there, @Katara88! Thanks for reaching out. Sorry to hear you’re running into that!

I took a quick peek and it looks like there’s a URL being passed into the video field.

If I’m not mistaken, YouTube requires an actual file object in order to post. I’m not certain which Instagram trigger is being used or if the file object is included in it but if it is that might be worth trying in lieu of the URL. 🙂

I hope that helps! Keep us posted!

Hi @Katara88 the photo you uploaded with the results doesn’t show the little box on the bottom left. what does the privacy setting need to be listed as?
