Use this interactive demo to learn how to set a publish date and time for your YouTube video.

Quick summary

Learn how to schedule a YouTube video using YouTube Studio so it publishes automatically at your chosen date and time. This step-by-step walkthrough covers everything from uploading your video to confirming the scheduled publish time.


Steps

  1. Sign in to studio.youtube.com, then click Create in the top right corner and select Upload videos.
  2. Drag your video file into the upload window or click Select files to browse.
  3. Fill in the Title and Description fields on the Details step.

📌 Why this matters

Scheduling YouTube videos in advance lets creators publish content at peak audience times without being online — maximizing reach and watch time. YouTube Studio's built-in scheduling feature gives you full control over your video's go-live date and time directly within the upload workflow. This is essential for content creators, social media managers, and brands managing consistent publishing cadences across channels. By automating publish timing, teams can plan campaigns, coordinate launches, and maintain a steady content pipeline with zero manual intervention.
