YT

YouTube

Google allows 100 uploads a day for the whole application, not per user, and raises it only after a compliance audit. This is the tightest limit in Xairo and the reason uploads are weighted at 8 credits.

Worth knowing

  • Google grants upload quota to an application rather than to each user. Until our audit raises it, the whole of Xairo shares 100 uploads a day.
  • A declined permission during sign-in produces an insufficient-permissions error later. Leave every toggle on.
