How to fix it

Post each video from one account. Localize for other-language accounts instead of duplicating.

Good to know

Translated versions for other-language accounts are allowed; up to 10 accounts with distinct purposes are allowed.

Can FYProof spot it?

A full check of your video looks for it in the caption. What a check finds is an estimate, not a guarantee.

  • Video: not for this rule
  • Speech: not for this rule
  • On-screen text: not for this rule
  • Caption: looked at for this rule
  • Hashtags: not for this rule

It doesn't read details stored inside the file, such as labels an editing app adds.

Part of this rule depends on your account or on what happens after you post, which a check before posting can't see.
