Introducing the All-new Zoho Social: Elevate team-work, social content, and more

Hey Folks!

We are excited to announce our latest product release. From content curation, to team management—we're covering a wide spectrum of upgrades with this release. Some of the key additions that you'll find will include YouTube integration, LikedIn Lead Generation, and a brand new Content Approval system designed for teams.

Here's a detailed look at what is in store: 

1. Video Marketing

YouTube Integration

Video is the content of the now, and scaling up video marketing efforts is going to be a high priority in the marketing verse. So say hello to our newest integration partner - YouTube. With Zoho Social, you can now publish and schedule videos content to your YouTube channels directly from Zoho Social's Publishing Window. You can also track performance for each video and respond in real-time to engagement. 

From the Monitor tab, you can keep an eye on your YouTube activity - all your Likes, Playlists, Comments, etc. Our robust set of analytics covers everything from who your viewers are, what your most watched content is, and granular data like how many minutes people are averaging on your videos.

While you're at it, stay up-to-date on your channel's performance with full fledged reports to see ranging from follower growth to engagement and audience demographics.You can schedule your YouTube performance reports and download or share them with your team and clients with ease.



Here are some articles to help you get started with YouTube on Zoho Social.

Custom Video Thumbnail:

A small but necessary upgrade, this feature lets you set a custom thumbnail for your video content through Zoho Social's publisher. You can do this by choosing a thumbnail image from one of the video frames, or upload your own designs.

 2. Content Approvals & Workflows

Streamlining your content workflow just got way easier! With the new Content Approvals and Workflow features, you can now work better with your team to move content around a neat pipeline. You can do that by setting up your own Approval system to optimize your social media publishing routine. 

You can assign specific team members as content Approvers to approve and publish drafts, and assign others as publishers or contributors who can create and send drafts for approval! This way the teams can have greater editorial control over what content goes out from their social channels.
