Yes. Cloud Campaign schedules and auto-publishes YouTube Shorts along with standard YouTube videos. Upload a vertical video and YouTube classifies it as a Short automatically based on length and aspect ratio; the scheduled post publishes directly to the channel at the set time with title and description included.
Shorts are YouTube's short-form surface and one of the easiest wins in a multi-platform video strategy, because the vertical video an agency already produces for Reels and TikTok usually works as a Short with no re-editing. They also schedule cleanly: Cloud Campaign publishes directly to YouTube, and Shorts are simply vertical uploads that YouTube classifies on its own.
There is no separate Shorts switch to flip. YouTube decides based on the video itself: vertical or square aspect ratio and a short runtime. Upload a 9:16 video within YouTube's Shorts length limit, and it lands on the channel as a Short, appears in the Shorts feed, and gets the format's distribution. Scheduled uploads work the same as native ones, with title, description, and timing set in advance.
Two reasons. First, marginal cost: the Reel already exists, so publishing it as a Short is a scheduling decision rather than a production one. Second, YouTube's discovery is search-driven and long-lived. A Short can keep pulling views for months in a way feed-based platforms rarely match, and it builds a subscriber base on the one platform where content compounds most durably. For clients in how-to and expertise niches, Shorts often become the best-performing surface they were not asking for.
The efficient pattern is to schedule every piece of vertical video to all three short-form surfaces at once, with the description adapted for YouTube's search behavior: a keyworded title and a sentence or two of context rather than a wall of hashtags.
