# Schedule YouTube Videos | YouTube Scheduler | Genviral

Yes. Authorize your YouTube channel through Google, then schedule videos and Shorts from one calendar. Genviral uploads and publishes at the time you set, carrying the title, a description of up to 5,000 characters, tags, category, a privacy setting of public, unlisted, or private, and a custom thumbnail.

## How YouTube scheduling works in Genviral

Between editing, creating thumbnails, writing descriptions, and maintaining a consistent schedule, most creators burn out. Here's how Genviral keeps you posting.

- Connect Your YouTube Channel: Securely link your YouTube channel in just a few clicks
- Create Videos & Shorts: Post unlimited content with your own media, or use AI Studio to generate thumbnails and assets. AI-generated content consumes credits.
- Schedule Your Videos: Plan your content calendar weeks or months in advance
- Bulk Creation: Set up hands-off campaigns that generate and post content automatically
- AI Assistant: Get expert guidance and content ideas from your personal AI assistant
- Analyze Content Performance: Track performance across your YouTube channels and optimize your posting strategy

## What you can schedule to YouTube

Video only, one video per scheduled upload. Image posts and text-only posts are not supported: publishing goes through the YouTube upload endpoint, which requires video. Google OAuth. Authorize Genviral, then pick which channel to connect. Several channels can run from one dashboard.

- Title between 2 and 100 characters, description up to 5,000 characters.
- Privacy status per upload: public, unlisted, or private.
- Up to 30 tags, a category, and a made-for-kids declaration.
- Attach a custom thumbnail to the scheduled video.
- Analytics: YouTube is covered by the Genviral analytics dashboard.

## What works the same on every platform

Genviral is one workspace for every connected platform: one composer, one calendar, and one media library. Bring your own files, or make them in Genviral with AI Studio, the slideshow editor, or bulk slideshow creation, then schedule the same content to several accounts at once. Scheduling and publishing are unlimited on every plan.

- Connect several accounts on the same platform and publish to all of them from one post.
- Edit, reschedule, or delete any scheduled post before it goes live.
- Team workspaces with role-based permissions and a shared media library, so nobody shares a social password.
- The same scheduling and publishing runs from an AI agent over MCP or the Partner REST API. See [/agents](https://www.genviral.io/agents).
