Schedule YouTube videos and Shorts
Upload videos and Shorts on the same calendar as every other channel, connected directly through Google sign-in.
What you can publish on YouTube
Good to know
- The free Basic plan includes 2 connected accounts, enough to try YouTube without a credit card.
- No reply chains in the composer
- No first comment
- Comments do not reach the inbox yet
YouTube connects directly through Google sign-in, with no third-party service in between. It asks only to upload videos and read your channel, nothing that could change your channel's settings or comments.
How it works in Publedia
Upload once, set the YouTube details
Attach the video in the composer, then give the YouTube version its own title, tags, category and visibility.
Publish the same clip as a Short
Pick Reel or Short as the format and one vertical video goes out as a Short, beside the same clip on TikTok and Instagram.
Plan it on the shared calendar
A scheduled YouTube upload sits on the same calendar as every other channel.
Track what published
Follow each upload from scheduled to published, then see how it did in analytics.
