Keep your YouTube channel active automatically
What Autopilot does on its own after you connect a channel, and what stays with you.
Autopilot watches one YouTube channel. When a new video or finished livestream appears, it creates clips and schedules them. This guide covers the setup, what runs automatically and where you can step in.
