Hi, this is Matt Crawford, and this is a video on how to schedule a video in YouTube Studio. I’m currently in the channel content section of my YouTube Studio, and for the purposes of this video, I’ll assume that you already have a video uploaded to your channel. For this demo, I’ve got a short video here called "AG Intro," which is 17 seconds long, and I’m going to show you exactly how to schedule it to go live at a specific date and time.

To get started, we’ll open up the details for the video. Click on the pencil icon next to the video title to access the video details page. Once you’re here, scheduling the video is very straightforward. On the right-hand side, you’ll see a section called Visibility under the Save and Publish heading. This is where you control when your video will be made available to viewers.

Click on the Visibility section, and you’ll see an option to Schedule the video. Expand that section, and you’ll be presented with options to choose a specific date and time for the video to go live. For example, let’s say you want this video to go live on December 1st, 2024. All you need to do is click on the calendar picker, select December 1st, 2024, and confirm the date.

Next, you can set the exact time. You’ll notice the time options are in 15-minute increments. For this demo, I’ll set the video to go live at 10:00 AM. If you need to adjust the time zone for any reason, you can do so by clicking the dropdown menu just below the time selection. However, for most users, this won’t be necessary, as YouTube will use your default time zone.

There’s also an option to set the video as a Premiere, which allows viewers to watch the video together at the time it goes live, complete with a live chat feature. If you want to enable that, just toggle the option on.

Once you’ve set the date, time, and any additional preferences, click the black Schedule button in the bottom-right corner of the screen. After you do that, the video will officially be scheduled.

To confirm, you can return to the channel content section. Under the Visibility column, you’ll now see the scheduled date and time listed for the video. In this case, it says December 1st, 2024, at 10:00 AM. This means the video will automatically go live at the specified time without you having to do anything further.

And that’s it! Scheduling videos in YouTube Studio is quick and easy, allowing you to plan your content release strategy well in advance. Hopefully, this video has been helpful. Thanks for watching!
