Can I navigate away while a video is uploading?
Yes. The upload keeps going in the background, with a persistent progress indicator visible from any screen, not just the composer you started it on.
Published Aug 31, 2026
1. The upload isn't tied to the composer you started it on
Leave the composer, open the calendar, check the inbox. The upload keeps running in the background regardless of what's on screen.
2. A progress indicator that follows you
A persistent indicator in the sidebar shows the real upload percentage, live, on every screen in the product.
3. A real failure still tells you, wherever you are
If the connection drops mid-upload, the same indicator shows it failed, with a reason. You don't have to go back to the composer to find out.
4. That failure notice only lasts about five seconds
Once it clears, there's no second place it's recorded, in the composer or anywhere else. Missing the window looks the same as the upload never having started. If a file you dropped isn't there when you check, that's what happened.

How to connect PostEase to Zapier or Make
Every publish can POST a signed payload to a Zapier Catch Hook or a Make custom webhook, carrying the caption, the account and a link to the live post. No app listing needed, and you can send a test event to map the fields.
Connecting PostEase to the rest of your stack
The outbound webhook, Zapier and Make, importing a calendar from another scheduler, and the browser extension are one integration surface, not four separate things to discover on your own.
Adding alt text to the images you schedule
One field in the composer, sent to X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Bluesky with the image. What it is for, what the 500-character cap comes from, and why video is left out.
How to set your workspace timezone
Every time you see or type in PostEase is in one zone chosen for the workspace, not your browser’s. Posts already scheduled keep their exact time when you change it.
Start an upload, then get back to the rest of your day.
Every channel you have, included. Adding another does not change the price.
