How to schedule YouTube videos
Three steps, and the first one you only do once.
- Step 1
Connect YouTube
Open Channels in Postbase, pick YouTube and approve access on YouTube's own sign-in screen. Postbase never sees your password.
- Step 2
Upload and describe
Add your video in the composer. The first line of your post becomes the title and the full text becomes the description.
- Step 3
Pick a time and schedule
Choose a date and time, or start from an open slot on the calendar. Postbase publishes it on time and retries if the network has a hiccup.
