What Crowdbird publishes on YouTube
Each post is one video with its title, description and YouTube settings. Crowdbird hands it over to your channel at the time you set.
- Title up to 100 characters
- Description up to 5,000 characters
- One video per post, up to 250 MB
YouTube next to your other networks
Plan YouTube in the same week as Instagram, TikTok and your other accounts. The same idea gets its own text on YouTube while the other versions stay as they are.
- Own text per network and account
- Public, unlisted or private
- Up to 30 tags and a first comment
Fixed times for your YouTube week
Set fixed times per weekday and new videos take the next free slot. Until your channel has enough videos of its own, Crowdbird shows clearly labeled guide times.
- Fixed times per weekday
- Publish now or schedule ahead
- Guide times until your own data is there
Prepare several videos by CSV
Upload text, time, channel and a media link as a CSV. Each row is checked and saved as a draft that you review before scheduling.
- Text, time, channel and media link
- Each row becomes a draft
- Review before you schedule
Your first scheduled YouTube video in three steps
Connect your channel
Use YouTube's official login. You enter your password only on YouTube, never in Crowdbird.
Prepare the video
Add one video, write the title and description, choose visibility and tags and, if you like, a first comment.
Set the time
Pick your own time or the next free slot in your queue.
Schedule YouTube videos for your channel
To schedule YouTube videos in Crowdbird, you connect your channel through YouTube's official login. You enter your password only on YouTube, never with us, and each video is handed over through the official interfaces at the time you set.
What a YouTube post in Crowdbird contains
Each post is exactly one video. Images can't be posted to YouTube this way, and the video file can be up to 250 MB. The title can be up to 100 characters. If you leave it empty, the first line of your text becomes the title, so it is usually better to write one yourself.
Your text becomes the description, up to 5,000 characters. That leaves room for the clay body, the glazes used and the next workshop dates.
Playlists and custom thumbnails are not available here. If a video needs either of them, handle that directly on YouTube.
Visibility, tags and first comment
For every video you choose public, unlisted or private. Ceramico Studio could publish a throwing video publicly and set a glazing walkthrough for workshop participants to unlisted, then send them the link.
You also set whether the video is made for kids and add up to 30 tags. Answer the made for kids question for the audience the video is really meant for.
A first comment goes out together with the video. It suits a glaze list or a question to viewers, while the essentials still belong in the description.
YouTube in one week with your other networks
YouTube Studio can schedule uploads itself, and if YouTube is your only network, that may be all you need. As a YouTube video scheduler, Crowdbird helps when YouTube is one channel among several. In the social media scheduler you see YouTube next to Instagram, TikTok and your other connected accounts in one week view. One idea can run on several networks and still get its own text on each: a full description on YouTube, a short text on Instagram.
The AI assistant can shorten, lengthen, translate or change the tone of an existing text, for example to turn a long description into a short version. Check facts, glaze names and dates yourself afterwards.
Times, queue and import
Set fixed times per weekday. New videos take the next free slot, and you can also publish right away or schedule at least two minutes ahead for a time of your own. Once your channel has published 20 videos in 90 days, suggested times come from your own results. Before that you see labeled guide times.
For several videos at once, use the CSV import with text, time, channel and media link. Each row is saved as a draft, and you check the title, visibility and other YouTube settings there before scheduling.
Common mistakes when scheduling YouTube videos
Leaving the title empty, so the first line of the description becomes the title by accident.
Choosing a video file over 250 MB. Export a smaller file or upload that video directly in YouTube Studio.
Scheduling a video as private when your viewers are meant to see it. Check the visibility before you schedule.
Pasting a short Instagram text into the description, although it has room for materials, steps and links.
Results of your YouTube videos
For videos you publish through Crowdbird, Crowdbird takes over the numbers YouTube provides. Older videos you uploaded directly on YouTube are not included. How to read those numbers is explained under analytics.
Can YouTube Studio schedule videos without Crowdbird?
Yes, YouTube Studio can schedule an upload on its own, and if you only publish on YouTube that may be enough. Crowdbird adds a week view with your other networks, a queue with fixed times per weekday, its own text per network and account, and a CSV import that turns rows into drafts you review.
How long can a YouTube title and description be?
The title can be up to 100 characters and the description up to 5,000. If you leave the title empty, the first line of your text is used as the title. Write the title yourself so it says what the video shows, and keep the most important details at the start of the description.
Can I schedule a YouTube video as unlisted or private?
Yes. For each video you choose public, unlisted or private, and the video goes to your channel with that setting at the scheduled time. You also set whether the video is made for kids. Check these settings once more before you schedule the video.
Can I add tags and a first comment to a scheduled video?
Yes, you can add up to 30 tags and prepare a first comment that goes out together with the video. Use the comment for a glaze list, a link or a question to viewers, but keep the main information in the description, because not everyone opens the comments.
Can I set a custom thumbnail or add the video to a playlist?
No, custom thumbnails and playlists are not available in Crowdbird. Each post contains one video with title, description, visibility, tags and, if you like, a first comment. If a video needs a custom thumbnail or belongs in a playlist, handle that directly on YouTube.
Do I have to give Crowdbird my YouTube password?
No. You connect your channel through YouTube's official login and enter your password only there. Crowdbird uses the official interfaces and does not store your password. That way you can schedule YouTube videos alongside your other accounts without sharing your login details.
Can I see how my YouTube videos perform in Crowdbird?
For videos you publish through Crowdbird, Crowdbird takes over the numbers YouTube provides. Older videos you uploaded directly on YouTube are not included. Compare videos once a few days have passed, because numbers can still change, and look at the content behind them, not just single figures.
