FAQ

YouTube scheduling FAQ

Does YouTube have native scheduling?

Yes. YouTube Studio can schedule when a video goes public. It only covers YouTube, so Social9 helps when you want the title and description written for you and the launch planned with your other networks.

Is the Social9 YouTube scheduler free?

YouTube is on paid plans, from Individual at $12/mo for 3 accounts on any network. The Free plan, with no credit card, covers LinkedIn, Instagram, Mastodon and Bluesky.

Why are my YouTube uploads private?

Google keeps uploads from apps it hasn't reviewed private. Until Google approves Social9, videos upload as private, and you can make them public in YouTube Studio.

Will Social9 post to YouTube without asking me?

Only if you turn on Full Autopilot. On Drafts only you publish yourself, and on Approve first every post waits for your OK. Quiet hours and a Pause button work in every mode.

What happens if a YouTube post fails?

Social9 retries posts that fail for a passing reason and alerts you when one can't be published. If YouTube needs you to log in again, you get a prompt to reconnect.
