Schedule YouTube videos in advance
Queue a month of YouTube videos in minutes and let postqueen publish them at the times you pick. No reminders, no copy and paste.
YouTubeThe YouTube scheduler that runs itself
Queue long-form videos and Shorts with their titles, descriptions and tags already finished, and postqueen uploads and publishes each one to your channel at the exact minute you pick.
Start a 7-day trial for $0YouTube rewards a predictable release rhythm, and that is hard to hold when every upload depends on someone sitting at a laptop at the right hour. Teams use postqueen to prepare a batch of videos and Shorts with finished metadata, then let the queue publish them on schedule across time zones. The AI assistant drafts titles and descriptions, and your favorite agent can drive the whole pipeline through the CLI or the MCP server.
AI drafts tuned for YouTube
The built-in assistant writes and rewrites videos in a tone that fits YouTube, so nothing reads like it was pasted from another network.

F.A.Q.
Frequently asked questions
Which YouTube formats can postqueen schedule?
Long-form videos and Shorts. You upload the file, fill in the title, description and tags, choose the visibility, and postqueen publishes the video on your channel at the scheduled time.
Do I need to verify my YouTube channel?
For uploads over 15 minutes, yes. YouTube caps unverified channels at 15 minute videos, and verification is a free one time step in YouTube Studio. Shorts and shorter uploads work without it.
How is this different from YouTube's own scheduling?
YouTube can schedule a video you have already uploaded by hand. postqueen handles the upload itself and keeps the channel on the same calendar as everything that promotes it, so the Short, the X thread and the newsletter go out around the release instead of being chased separately.
Can the AI write titles and descriptions?
Yes. The assistant drafts titles, descriptions and tag sets from your video's topic and rewrites anything you highlight. Nothing publishes before you schedule it, and agents like Claude Code or Codex can prepare a whole batch through the MCP server.
Can I cross-post Shorts to TikTok and Instagram Reels?
Yes. Upload the vertical video once, pick YouTube, TikTok and Instagram as destinations, and tune the caption per platform. Each network gets its own native upload rather than a watermarked repost.
What YouTube analytics does postqueen show?
postqueen reports the video-level metrics YouTube's API exposes, such as views, likes and comments, alongside how your subscriber count moves. It is built to compare releases and posting slots, not to replace the depth of YouTube Studio.
Why did my scheduled YouTube upload fail?
The usual causes: the YouTube connection expired and needs a reconnect, the channel is not verified and the video runs past 15 minutes, the file is larger than YouTube accepts, or the daily YouTube Data API quota behind the connection is used up. postqueen shows the error on the post so you can fix it and requeue.
Can I self-host YouTube scheduling, and is there a free trial?
Both. Every cloud plan starts with a 7-day free trial and you can cancel anytime. Self-hosting the open source version is free with Docker; for YouTube you register your own Google Cloud project, which starts with a default daily API quota that covers a handful of uploads per day until you request more.
