Schedule YouTube videos

Upload to your YouTube channel from the same place as your other networks. Attach one video, give it a title, pick a time, and Postacio uploads it then.

YouTube decides whether it is a Short: vertical or square, 3 minutes or less.

By uploading, you agree to YouTube’s Terms of Service.

One video, with its own title.

Each post uploads one video to your channel, and you see how it will look on YouTube first.

  • Title

    Up to 100 characters, written for YouTube alone.

  • Description

    The post's words, up to 5,000 bytes as YouTube counts them.

  • Video files

    MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI, MPEG, MKV or 3GP, up to 3 GB.

  • Shorts

    Vertical or square, 3 minutes or less. YouTube decides, and the post says what to expect.

  • Thumbnail

    Attach one image, on channels YouTube lets set one.

  • On your calendar

    At a time you pick or the next open one, beside your other posts.

YouTube's own questions, on the post.

Asked as you write, the way YouTube Studio asks them, then read back from YouTube once it is up.

  • Who can watch

    Public, Unlisted or Private, shown on every post.

  • Made for kids

    Your answer, with no default. The video can't be scheduled until you give it.

  • Tags and category

    Tags up to 500 characters, and a category from YouTube's list.

  • Paid promotion

    Tell viewers a video has a paid placement, sponsorship or endorsement.

  • Each video's numbers

    Views, likes, comments and shares, as YouTube reports them.

  • Subscribers

    Your channel's count, read from YouTube.

Questions before you start.

How do I schedule a YouTube video?

Connect your channel by signing in with Google, attach the video, give it a title and say whether it is made for kids. Pick a time, and Postacio uploads it then through YouTube's own API.

Will my video be public?

You choose Public, Unlisted or Private on each post, and Postacio uploads with that choice. YouTube has the last word: it keeps videos uploaded through an app it hasn't finished auditing private, and that audit is not finished for Postacio yet. So for now a video can stay private even if you chose Public. Postacio reads back what YouTube did, and if YouTube kept the video more private than you chose, the published post says so.

What happens if YouTube's upload limit is reached?

Every Postacio customer shares one daily upload quota, which stays small until Google finishes its audit of Postacio. If it runs out, or your channel reaches its own daily limit, your video isn't sent. Postacio tries it again by itself once YouTube resets the limit, a few times at most, and after that the post is marked failed with a Retry button. So a video can go out later than you planned.

Can I schedule YouTube Shorts?

YouTube decides from the file: a vertical or square video of 3 minutes or less is likely to be a Short. There is no separate upload for it, and the post tells you which to expect.

Can one post hold several videos?

No. A YouTube post uploads one video. It can also carry one image, which becomes the thumbnail if YouTube accepts it for your channel.

What can Postacio change on my channel?

It uploads the videos you schedule, and sets their thumbnails. It can't edit, delete or comment on anything, or change a video's visibility after the upload. Disconnecting the channel removes its access at Google, unless another workspace still has that channel connected.

Can I post the same thing to YouTube and other networks?

Yes. Write it once and it goes to YouTube, X, Telegram and LinkedIn at once, each in its own shape. YouTube takes the words as the description, and needs a video. Telegram. LinkedIn. X.

Is scheduling YouTube videos free?

Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial with no card. After it, both plans are priced per account, on any networks, and each rate applies only to the accounts in its range. Creator is $4 per account a month for your first 25, $3 for the next 25, $1 after 50. Business is $5 per account a month for your first 25, $3 for the next 25, $2 after 50. There is no free plan.
