Video and preset details

There is a lot of different bits of information related to videos and presets. Tags like $(ep) and $(playlist) is used in presets.

(required for videos) Video Title: A video title

(optional) Description: A video description

(required) Category: The video category to sort the video in, what type of video is this? Avoid changing category localization when one or more videos/presets is in edit mode or when any upload is active!

(optional) Tags: additional keywords used for finding the video, words in the title do not need to be here. Needs to be separated by a comma followed by a space. (", ")

Flag as Made for kids (Yes/No checkbox) The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) require YouTube and all creators to to this in order to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). I do not knonw much about it so I only point to Googles support page about what is "Made for kids" and not. https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9528076. The support page can be accessed at anytime by simply right click on the checkbox for a video or preset when it is in an editable state.

Do (not) notify subscribers: Notifies your subscribers that a new video is up. Not recommended then uploading a lot of videos. Suggesting to have it disabled in presets and enable it for only the first one in the uploads as no one loves being attacked by notifications. Its up to Youtube if a notification is sent or not, there is probably a lot of factors affecting this (for example the notification bell) and Stekeblads Video Uploader can not promise that this option have any effect at all.

(optional) Playlist: Select one of your playlists to add this video to

(optional) Thumbnail: If you do not set one then Youtube will create one from a point in the video. If editing is enabled you can click on the thumbnail to change it. You can right click on a thumbnail for the option to reset it to default and let YouTube pick one.

public/unlisted/private: Public means everyone will be able to find this video by searching, recommended videos etc. Unlisted means you can only find this video if you have the video url. private means only you can watch this video, even with the link it is not watchable by anyone else.
