# YouTube post preview

Review a video title and watch page, or check a vertical Short.

Text and local files stay in your browser. Public image and video URLs load from their hosts.

## How to use it

1. Write your post and choose a format.
1. Add your account details and media through Post details.
1. Compare the full page and post card at phone, tablet, or desktop widths.

## What to check on YouTube

Check whether the title still explains the video when it wraps. Use the watch page for long videos and Short for vertical footage.

A title and thumbnail need to work together before playback. Check the uploaded video proportions and the channel name below it.

## Native layout and publishing availability

These previews illustrate native network layouts. They do not publish anything, fetch a live account, or certify that a format can be published through OpenPost. Network apps, account types, and server settings can change the final appearance and limits.

## Common questions

**Do I need an account?**

No. You can edit and preview a post without signing in.

**Can I preview the whole page?**

Yes. Choose Full page for the surrounding feed, channel, or watch page. Choose Post card to focus on the content itself.

**Will my files upload?**

Local files use temporary browser URLs and are not uploaded. Closing or refreshing the page clears your draft.
