If you would like to schedule a YouTube video,
then stay tuned, watch this video all the way to the end
as I show you how.
Hi there, David Walsh here once again
from DavidWalshOnline.com,
your place to grow your business using YouTube.
In this video I'm gonna show you
how you can schedule a video on your YouTube channel.
Before I do, if this is your first time here,
make sure to hit the Subscribe button
and also the notification bell
to be notified every time we upload brand new videos
every Tuesday and as always,
if you are an existing subscriber,
thanks for subscribing, we really do appreciate it here
and how are you today?
So, you want to schedule a YouTube video.
You wanna upload it, you wanna pop it up there,
put it on a timer and then walk away
and it gets published when you want it.
Very simple, very straightforward,
very easy to do.
It's a great idea for you and your YouTube channel.
We use it all the time.
I recommend it to my clients as well.
What we like to do is create multiple videos
so we're batch creating our videos
and then just upload them
and schedule at the correct time each week
for them to go out.
It makes life a lot easier for you,
for the video people involved
and you know that your content is going out
at the correct time every week.
So, to set this all up,
let's head on over to the old trusty computer
to show you how.
So, here we are in YouTube Uploads,
so we've gone at the top
and clicked on the plus sign and Upload Video.
So, you can see here that I've selected Private
before I've uploaded my video,
so I'm just gonna get my video
and then just drop it in here.
So, as our video's uploading,
I can go to here
and then select Schedule.
So, if your video is on Public, Unlisted, Private
or whatever, go to the dropdown
and select Scheduled.
Then select the date and time that you want.
Now one thing to watch out for
is if you are uploading on the day
that YouTube will select the day after,
so today is the 10th,
so if I wanted to schedule this for today,
I need to make sure to go in to the right date there
and then select the time that I want.
Another thing to make sure as well
is if you're traveling,
to make sure to select the timezone
that you are releasing your video in
because it will pick up the timezone
that you're in and it will publish
to that particular timezone,
so make sure that if you're traveling,
that you are at the right timezone.
If you're uploading from where you do normally,
then that won't be an issue.
And as always, make sure to put in your proper titles,
tags, descriptions, add it to play lists, et cetera
and then once you've done, click on Publish
and your video will be good to go.
So, there you go that's simply how you do it,
very easy, very straightforward
and as I said, we recommend this
with our clients that they batch create their content,
get them all edited
and then upload it onto YouTube
so that they don't have to worry
about getting this content out
at the correct time each week.
And your video publish date actually goes out
on the date that you schedule that.
As long as you upload in Private mode,
then the publish date will be the date
that you schedule it for,
not the date of upload.
So, you could upload stuff well far in advance,
a month or two ahead of schedule
and you don't have to worry that the date
of the publishing of the video
is the date that you uploaded it.
It's actually the date that it's published on your schedule.
So, how are you gonna use this tool in your toolbox?
Let me know in the old comments area below.
I'd love to know what you think of it.
Also as well, if you have a question about this
or anything else to do with YouTube
or even if you just wanna drop by and say hi,
pop something down in the old comments area.
We'd love to hear from you.
Thank you for watching this video
all the way to the end.
