Keep YouTube as your publishing home base

This route is for creators who publish video on YouTube first and want a native Instagram post without repeating the transfer by hand.

One source account

The rule watches the YouTube account you select. It does not scan unrelated profiles or repost content from accounts you do not connect.

A native Instagram post

Taisly sends the video through the connected Instagram publishing flow instead of sharing a YouTube link.

Caption text moves with the video

When YouTube supplies a caption, Taisly passes that text into the destination posting flow with the video.

What this workflow does - and where it stops

Taisly handles distribution. It does not replace platform rules or turn one video into a newly edited version.

Current repost detection considers source videos after they have been live for at least five minutes and while they remain within the three-hour eligibility window.

New videos, not a library migration

The automatic rule detects newly published source videos. It does not backfill an existing YouTube library.

Connected accounts are required

Both the YouTube source account and the Instagram destination account must remain connected and available to Taisly.

Instagram still applies its own rules

A video can be delayed or rejected when it does not meet Instagram requirements or the destination account cannot publish it.

Distribution is not editing

Taisly does not resize, cut, rewrite, or optimize the creative for Instagram as part of this repost rule.

YouTube to Instagram reposting questions

Does Taisly repost every YouTube video?

Taisly checks eligible newly published videos from the connected source account. A video must be detected inside the current eligibility window, and Instagram applies its own publishing requirements.

Do I need to keep Taisly open?

No. After the rule is created, repost monitoring runs in the background. Open Reposts or History when you want to inspect the rule or posting status.

Can I repost older YouTube videos?

No. The current automatic workflow is designed for newly published videos, not for migrating or scheduling an existing YouTube content library.

What happens if one of my accounts expires?

Reposts may pause or fail until the affected account is connected again. Platform authorization and publishing access must remain valid for the rule to work.

Ready to stop reposting by hand?

Connect both accounts, set the route, and let Taisly handle the next repost.
