Shorts and long-form
Queue vertical Shorts and full-length horizontal uploads from one calendar — each with its own publish slot.
Schedule your YouTube uploads ahead of time
Queue Shorts and long-form videos with titles, descriptions, tags, and thumbnails set in advance — Postqued publishes them on schedule through the official YouTube API, on plans that start at $9/month.
What you'll be able to do
Built for how creators actually publish on YouTube
Thumbnails set in advance
Attach a custom thumbnail before publish, so your video doesn't go live with an auto-generated frame.
Titles, descriptions & tags
Write the title, fill out the description with links and chapters, and add tags — all queued ahead of time.
A real upload calendar
Plan a week or a month of uploads, keep Shorts and main videos on a consistent cadence, and see it all at a glance.
Multiple channels
Run several channels or Brand Accounts? Manage every channel's queue in one place on plans that scale with you.
Schedule via API
Publish to YouTube from scripts, backends, no-code tools, or AI agents with a single static API key — like TikTok today.
Why schedule YouTube
Consistency is half the battle on YouTube
Whether you're posting daily Shorts or a weekly long-form video, getting it live at the right time — every time — is what builds an audience. Scheduling takes the manual upload step off your plate.
Publish while you're offline
Finish editing on Sunday, set Tuesday 4pm, and let the upload go live on time — no waiting by your laptop to hit publish.
Keep an algorithm-friendly cadence
YouTube rewards consistency. Batch a month of Shorts and stay on a steady schedule even during busy weeks or travel.
Hand off to your team
Editors load the video, title, and thumbnail into the queue; you review and approve. No sharing channel passwords.

Questions & answers
YouTube scheduling questions
Can Postqued schedule both YouTube Shorts and long-form videos?
Yes. You can queue vertical Shorts and full-length horizontal uploads from the same calendar, each with its own title, description, tags, and publish time.
Can I set the title, description, and thumbnail in advance?
Yes. Write the title and description, drop in chapters and tags, and attach a custom thumbnail before the video ever goes live — a scheduled upload publishes fully optimized, not as a bare file.
How does scheduling a YouTube upload work?
Connect your channel, upload the video file, fill in the title, description, tags, and thumbnail, pick a publish date and time, and Postqued publishes it for you automatically — including flipping it from private to public at the scheduled moment.
Does it support multiple channels and Brand Accounts?
Yes. Postqued lets you connect multiple accounts, so creators and agencies running several YouTube channels or Brand Accounts can manage every channel's queue in one place, on plans that scale from Creator to unlimited on Agency.
Can I schedule YouTube uploads through an API?
