## Good to know

- Needs a paid plan or the 7-day trial. Messages use your workspace's credits.
- Tella cuts YouTube descriptions to 5,000 bytes and removes < and >, so Chinese or Japanese text cuts off sooner.
- YouTube chapters need at least 3, the first at 0:00, each 10+ seconds. Otherwise the option is greyed out.
- Each destination can use the shared title and description, or its own text on that platform's tab.

## Questions people ask

### Can Claude or ChatGPT write my YouTube title and description through Tella?

Yes. [Claude](https://claude.ai/directory/tella) or [ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/plugins/plugin_asdk_app_6a7026f78434819186579d93d20ab38b?open_in_app) connected to Tella's [MCP server](https://www.tella.com/mcp) can read your transcript, set the title and description, and publish to your YouTube channel. It has to write chapters into the description itself.

### Does Tella write a title and description automatically?

Yes. Auto-generate titles and Auto-generate descriptions are on by default in Settings > Preferences, so Tella writes both for each new recording. Ask the Tella Agent for a rewrite aimed at YouTube.

### What if I trim the video after writing the description?

Tella marks your chapters as possibly out of sync. Click Regenerate in the Chapters panel, then ask the Tella Agent to update the description so it matches the video.
