What can and can't be a YouTube Premiere, and what happens if I create one with a strike or a Short?

Problem. Choosing whether a finished upload can be premiered. Conditions. Uploading through YouTube Studio. Method. Create > Upload videos, then either set as instant Premiere (premieres when processing finishes) or schedule a date and time and tick Set as Premiere; optionally Set up Premiere for countdown theme and length. Failure modes. Shorts are not supported; 360/VR180 or output above 1080p is not supported; with a Community Guidelines strike the Premiere is set private for the penalty period and must be rescheduled. Limitations. Help page does not state a maximum video length or minimum subscriber count for basic Premieres (a subscriber minimum is stated only for trailers). Version/date. Help page fetched 2026-10-24. Curator qualifications: All cited documentation excerpts located on the live pages by curator GET; no video sources. Limitations: Page is a dynamic help article that Google can change; the 1080p cap is stated for the Premiere output only, not for the later regular upload. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
