YouTube scheduler
Schedule YouTube posts
Write a post once, tailor the YouTube version, then publish it right away or schedule it for later. Every post you send to YouTube gets its own YouTube version: 5,000 characters and one attachment per post.
Every YouTube detail on this page is read from the same platform registry the composer and the publisher run on, so it describes what Postify does today.

Step by step
How to schedule YouTube posts with Postify
Step 1
Connect your YouTube account
Open the Channels page in Postify, choose YouTube and complete its connection flow. The account then appears in the composer as a channel you can publish to.
Step 2
Write the post once
Write it in the composer and select your YouTube channel, plus any other channels the same post should reach.
Step 3
Tailor the YouTube version
YouTube gets its own variant of the post, counted against 5,000 characters with room for one attachment. YouTube-only settings such as Title (overrides first line), Privacy, Tags (comma-separated) and more sit in the same variant.
Step 4
Publish now or schedule it
Publish right away, or pick a date and time. Scheduled posts sit on the content calendar, where you can move them to a new time, and Postify can suggest times to post.
Step 5
Check that it went out
Postify records a delivery result for each channel a post goes to and shows it on the post, so you can see whether the YouTube post went out.
