Shorts and regular videos
A vertical or square video up to 3 minutes long posts as a Short; anything else posts as a regular video. ClipSnitch tells you which before you schedule.

YouTube scheduler: schedule videos and Shorts in advance
Upload a video once, let AI write the title, description and tags, and pick the day and time it goes public. ClipSnitch schedules regular YouTube videos and Shorts, and can post the same video to TikTok, Instagram and LinkedIn at the same time.

Why schedule YouTube posts with ClipSnitch
Titles, descriptions and tags written for you
Describe the video in a sentence and pick a tone. AI drafts a title, a description, tags and hashtags for you to review and edit.
Public at the minute you chose
ClipSnitch uploads the video about an hour early as a private, scheduled upload, and YouTube makes it public at your time, in your time zone.
One calendar for every platform
See YouTube posts next to TikTok, Instagram and LinkedIn in your content calendar, and reschedule or cancel them before they go out.
How to schedule a YouTube video
01
Connect your YouTube channel
Sign in with Google once on the Social Accounts page. ClipSnitch asks only for permission to upload videos.
02
Add your video
Drag in an MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV file, or choose one from your library.
03
Write the title and description
Type them or let AI draft them, then answer YouTube's required question: is this video made for kids?
04
Pick the date and time
Choose Schedule, set a day and time up to 90 days ahead, and press the button.

ClipSnitch checks these before anything is scheduled, so a post isn't refused at its time.

When is the best time to post on YouTube?
There is no single best time: it depends on when your viewers watch. In YouTube Studio, open Analytics, then Audience, and look at when your viewers are on YouTube. Schedule uploads a little before that peak, and keep a steady rhythm; consistency matters more than the exact minute.
Schedule the same video everywhere
One post can go to several platforms at once, each with its own text and settings. If one upload fails, the others still go out.
TikTok scheduler
Plan and auto-post TikTok videos from your computer.
Instagram Reels scheduler
Schedule Reels from your browser to a professional account.
LinkedIn post scheduler
Schedule LinkedIn video posts to your profile.
YouTube scheduling questions
Can you schedule YouTube Shorts?
Yes. A vertical or square video up to 3 minutes long posts as a Short, and ClipSnitch schedules it like any other video: pick the date and time, and YouTube makes it public then. YouTube Studio can schedule Shorts one at a time; ClipSnitch adds AI-written text and posting to other platforms at once.
How do I schedule a YouTube video?
Connect your channel, add the video, write or generate the title and description, answer the made-for-kids question, then choose Schedule and pick a date and time up to 90 days ahead. ClipSnitch uploads the video about an hour before and YouTube publishes it at your time.
Why does a scheduled YouTube video have to be public?
YouTube schedules a video by making a private upload public at a set time. To post an unlisted or private video, post it now instead of scheduling it.
Which time zone are scheduled videos in?
Your browser's time zone, shown next to the time picker. The video goes public at that moment, wherever your viewers are.
Can I change or cancel a scheduled YouTube video?
Yes. Until ClipSnitch starts the upload, about an hour before the time, you can reschedule or cancel it from the calendar or the Posts page.
Is the YouTube scheduler free?
Posting and scheduling are on the paid plans, from $12 a month, with a full refund within 14 days of a payment. The Free plan lets you make and download clips.
