S.H.O.P. Shorts. Last updated November 10, 2026.
S.H.O.P. Shorts is a tool S.H.O.P. uses to upload its own Shorts to the S.H.O.P. YouTube channel. It uses YouTube API Services. It isn't offered to anyone else.
What it uses
With the channel owner's permission, it uploads videos to the S.H.O.P. channel as private, with their title, description, category (Gaming), the "not made for kids" setting and a publish time, then sets the thumbnail, checks when YouTube has finished processing them, and adds them to the channel's own playlists. Setting the thumbnail right after the upload is the only change it makes to a video.
It asks Google for two permissions. The first, which Google calls "Manage your YouTube videos", is used only to upload. Google describes the second as letting a tool "see, edit, and permanently delete your YouTube videos, ratings, comments and captions". This tool uses it only to read the channel's own videos and playlists and to add videos to those playlists, and blocks every other request, so it never edits or deletes a video, rating, comment or caption. It doesn't read or collect viewers' data, other channels' data or anyone's personal information.
What it keeps
The Google authorizations for the S.H.O.P. channel, stored privately with the services that run the tool, and used only for the steps above. It sets no cookies for viewers; the only cookies it uses are for the S.H.O.P. crew's own sign-in to the tool.
Sharing
Nothing is sold or shared. Before a video goes to YouTube, the channel owner gets it in a private message to approve, and the tool keeps a private copy for 14 days.
Google and YouTube
By using this tool you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service. Google's handling of data is covered by the Google Privacy Policy. The channel owner can remove the tool's access at any time from Google's security settings.
