Unfold — Automated YouTube Content Production
Unfold is a privately operated system that produces short educational videos and publishes them as YouTube Shorts on three channels owned by its operator. It is not a public service: it is used only by its operator, for the operator's own YouTube channels.
The three channels
EverydayUnfold
How everyday machines, tools and objects actually work.
NatureUnfold
How animals and natural systems are engineered by evolution.
What Unfold does
- Prepares videos. Each video goes through automated technical and quality checks and an operator review before it may be uploaded.
- Publishes videos. Reviewed videos are uploaded to the matching channel and published according to a fixed daily schedule.
- Verifies the channel. Before every upload, Unfold confirms that it is connected to the expected channel, so a video can never be sent to the wrong account.
- Reads channel and performance data. Unfold reads public channel statistics and aggregated YouTube Analytics reports for its own channels, to monitor publication and performance on the operator's private dashboards.
Google sign-in and the OrbitUnfold Uploader app
OrbitUnfold Uploader is the name of the Google OAuth application through which Unfold accesses the operator's existing YouTube accounts. Access is granted by the channel owner through Google's own consent screen (Google OAuth 2.0); Unfold never sees or stores a Google password.
Unfold uses the YouTube Data API and the YouTube Analytics API (YouTube API Services) only for the operator's own channels. Which data is accessed, why, and how it is stored is described in the Privacy Policy. Use of Unfold is subject to the Terms of Service, the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.
Access can be revoked at any time via the Google security settings page.
Who is this for?
Only for the operator of the three channels above. Unfold does not offer accounts, sign-ups or any service to other people, and it does not access anyone else's YouTube channel.
