The video that would not upload
Harbour Town Youth Football Club is made up. A coach films a match for ten minutes. The video is far too big for the club's page, and the channel only allows a short clip.
Each format has limits. A good maker checks the limits before filming, not after.

I can create content in a format that fits a channel's limits.

Text has limits and a tone
Some channels limit how many characters you may post. Count them, including spaces. Match the tone to the audience: friendly for players, clear and calm for parents.
Check facts, names and dates before you publish. Use a large, plain font and short lines so the text is easy to read on a phone.
Try it: a character counter
<label for="post">Write a post (limit 80 characters)</label>
<textarea id="post" rows="3"></textarea>
<p id="count" role="status">80 left</p>
<!-- Change the limit from 80 to 100 in the script and the label. -->
