# FAQs:

* **Why can't I add the YouTube channel that I manage?**

You need to be Owner of the YouTube channel in order to connect it with Publer. You can read more [here](/en/article/why-cant-i-add-the-youtube-channel-that-i-manage-1ab5v47/).

* **Can I add advanced features, like video tags or end screen cards, to YouTube videos?**

Unfortunately, the YouTube API does not support these options currently. However, we are tracking them [here](https://feedback.publer.io/683). As soon as their API supports it, we will be able to add these features too. 

* **Can I upload a custom thumbnail for YouTube videos?**

Yes, you can. First you need to [verify](/en/article/how-to-add-a-custom-thumbnail-for-youtube-videos-1p8i0ld/) your YouTube channel and then you can [add a custom thumbnail to your videos](/en/article/how-to-add-a-custom-thumbnail-for-youtube-videos-1p8i0ld/).

* **Why is my monetization being turned off for YouTube Shorts scheduled through Publer?**

YouTube videos published via 3rd party apps are not monetized by default. This is due to a limitation in YouTube's API. Currently, the only solution is to manually activate monetization for each post through your YouTube Studio.
