Step-by-step guide
How to schedule YouTube videos
To schedule a YouTube video in Repping.AI, connect your channel, add the file, set the title, description, tags, privacy, thumbnail and playlist, then pick a time. Repping.AI uploads the video through YouTube's API at that time. YouTube processes it afterwards, so confirm the final state in YouTube Studio.

Helpful tips
Check YouTube Studio after the upload
YouTube processes each upload after it arrives. Open Studio to see processing status, restrictions and visibility.
Test one upload first
Verify one upload end to end before you move a launch calendar, because account eligibility and processing can vary.
Write the title and first lines for people
The title and the first two lines of the description are what viewers see first. Write them before you upload, so scheduling is the last step.
