Frequently Asked Questions

Does scheduling videos affect views?

Scheduling your videos can impact the number of views your video receives. If you publish your videos when your audience is most likely to be on YouTube, your videos could get seen faster, which YouTube's algorithm will see as a sign of the video's quality. In turn, YouTube may decide to rank your video higher and get more search traffic.

How far ahead can you schedule YouTube videos?

You can schedule your videos as far ahead of their publishing date as you want. Compared to YouTube's standard video scheduling capabilities. Video Scheduling allows you to schedule your videos years in advance (although it may not make total sense, but hey, we'll let you decide for yourself.)

Can I add a comment right after I publish my scheduled videos?

Yes. You can schedule your first comment to go live at the same time as your video using TubeBuddy Video Scheduling.

Can I schedule my videos in a time zone different from mine?

Yes. You can use any time zone in which you want to publish your videos.

Can I get a reminder before I publish a scheduled video?

Yes, you can get an email 24 hours before a video goes live or at the time of publishing.

Can I easily reschedule, cancel, or modify a scheduled video if my plans change?

Yes, you can modify your schedule in any way you want with Video Scheduling.

How accurate are the suggested best times to post based on audience activity?
