YouTubePublish integration

Render in ngram. Ship to YouTube. No Studio detour.

Connect your channel once. Then every video you render in ngram lands on YouTube with title, description, chapters, tags and a thumbnail pre-filled from the source content - long-form, Shorts and Premieres, on demand or scheduled.

  • Connect channel in 30 seconds — One OAuth flow links ngram to your YouTube channel - your password never touches us
  • Metadata pre-filled, not blank — Title, description, chapters, tags and thumbnail are drafted from the source page or script
  • Long-form, Shorts and Premieres — 9:16 routes to Shorts automatically; 16:9 lands as long-form or a scheduled Premiere

How it works

Four steps from finished render to published video.

No YouTube Studio detour, no copy-pasting titles into a second tab. The Share modal in the ngram editor is the upload form.

01

Connect your channel

Open Settings - Connected Accounts in ngram and authorize YouTube. Standard Google OAuth, multi-channel support, revoke any time.

30 sec
02

Render or pick a video

Render a fresh video from a page or prompt, or pick an existing project in your ngram library. Either way the Share modal opens with YouTube as a destination.

varies
03

Review title, description and chapters

ngram drafts title, description, chapter markers, tags and a thumbnail from the source content. Edit anything inline before you ship.

30 sec
04

Publish now, schedule or Premiere

Pick visibility, choose publish-now, a scheduled time, or a Premiere with countdown. ngram uploads natively and returns the YouTube URL.

What it can do

Every YouTube upload field, filled by ngram.

The integration is not a thin upload wrapper. It writes the metadata YouTube expects, generates the assets the algorithm rewards, and handles the publishing path you actually want.

Title and description, drafted from source

ngram writes a hook-first title and a structured description from the page or script that built the video - links, CTAs and timestamps included.

Chapter markers, frame-accurate

Chapters are generated from the script's scene structure and written into the description in YouTube's required format. Viewers can jump straight to the part they want.

Tags drafted from the content

Topical tags pulled from the source and your channel history - editable, never spam. Used by YouTube's recommender, not just search.

Custom thumbnail, generated or uploaded

Pick the auto-generated frame, regenerate with a different style, or upload your own. ngram uploads it natively as the channel's custom thumbnail.

Scheduled publishing and Premieres

Publish now, schedule for a specific time, or set up a Premiere with countdown and live chat. All from the same Share modal.

Shorts vs long-form, routed automatically

9:16 renders ship to YouTube Shorts; 16:9 lands as long-form. ngram applies the right metadata shape for each format - no toggle required.

End screens and cards

Add subscribe prompts, video links and channel CTAs on the way out. ngram inserts end screens that match YouTube's positioning rules.

Multi-channel publishing

Connect more than one channel - brand, founder, devrel - and pick the destination per upload. Switching channels does not break the brand kit.

Supported surfaces

YouTube surfaces ngram tunes for.

Each surface has its own metadata shape, aspect ratio and audience signal. ngram applies the right one automatically based on the render - you do not have to toggle a setting.
