 In this video, I'm going to be introducing you to the Advanced Scheduling Tool with TubeBuddy so that you can understand how it opens up a much greater world of possibilities to you than with the YouTube Studio's own built-in scheduling tool, which really is a little bit lacking in terms of functionality. So let's dive straight into it. This particular tool is one that you'll find next to every video. So we've got a whole suite of tools that are specific to individual videos. So if we have a look in our content list, you'll see that we've got this little TubeBuddy menu here. A little click on that and you see it opens up this whole range of different tools, actually five pages of different tools in here. I will be covering all of these in due course. But for the time being, we're just going to focus on this side here where it says Schedule. So there are a few different things here. Obviously, as you know in YouTube, you can either make a video public, private, save it as a draft, or you can schedule it to go live or as a premiere or whatever. Here we've got a few different options. So Scheduled Publish is basically like that but with extra functionality. So let's dig into that one first. We'll then look at Sunsetting Videos and Scheduled Video Update as well. First though, let's look at the Scheduled Publish. There's a couple of different things that it's going to do in here. First of all, it's asking for just the time and the date and the time zone as well so that you can actually just set that out by whatever time zone you want. So that is nothing particularly more than we get in YouTube, is it? However, what it does have in here is a built-in recommendation of the best time to post based on when your viewers are online. So you can find this in the analytics. TubeBuddy has got a particular section in there that will tell you the best time to post. But this is basically just bringing that all in, saving you the time of going and looking for it. It's giving you the recommendation. What you can do, though, is you can actually publish it, but you can set it to either public or unlisted. So it may be in draft. You may not want to publish it to public. You may want to publish it, but only to an unlisted video. This is something that you can't do in SEO, in YouTube Studio, I should say. You can also add the video to a playlist after publish. Now, this is an important one because you may have a video that is set to draft or something like that and you don't want to include it in the playlist or maybe it's unlisted. You don't want to include it in a particular playlist until it's made public. However, even unlisted videos, not private ones, but unlisted ones, if you have assigned them to a playlist, you do need to bear in mind that they will appear in that playlist even if they're unlisted and not public. So that is a crucial thing. You might have made a video unlisted thinking that nobody can see it, but if it's in a playlist, they will still show up there. So what you can do here, though, is you could potentially have it unlisted, but then you could set it to go public at a certain time and at that point, you might want to then add it to a particular playlist after it's been published like that. Another thing that you can do here is add a comment at the time of publish. So this is something that you might want to do to have a particular comment that is in the comments where you might have a call to action or something or you might have something referencing a course, a product or something like that or there's some piece of information that you want to include in there, maybe even speaking from experience, something you forgot to mention in the video and you think, oh, I'll just have to go and remember to actually drop a comment in to explain further about that, whatever it happens to be. Well, here you can just click on this little option here to add comment and then add your comment in. It's the same limit you've got under a regular comment. You can just add the comment and so at the time of publishing, it will then go and post that comment obviously as yourself, as your channel handle. Next, you've also got here, email me a reminder 24 hours before the publish date. So that's quite handy and email me a reminder right now. So if you've forgotten what you've just done, you can actually get the reminder immediately. But you can also get one 24 hours before published. So if you have got to remember to go and do something else related to the video or something like that, then that is a handy little thing. So that is just some advanced things that you've got with publishing for scheduling the publish. So that is certainly a step up from what we can do in YouTube Studio. But it does get better because if I come back into this one again and instead of going to scheduled publish, I can go to Sunset Video. Now this is basically the same, but in reverse. This is if you want to actually take the video down or take it off or change the status of it. So here we can go from assuming it's a public video, we can change the privacy to either private or unlisted. So if you've got something that's time sensitive, it's a video promoting an event, for example, that's happening on a certain date and you just want to take the promo down after the date or within a certain time. Or it's time sensitive because it's related to some product release or whatever it happens to be. I'll leave you to figure out all your use cases for this. But here you can change the privacy so it will go to private at this particular time or you might have it go from public to unlisted. Coming back to that point I made about unlisted videos still being visible in playlists. Then you've then got this option which becomes more critical, which is remove video from all playlists or a specific playlist. So if you did have it, you've got it going to be from public to unlisted, then you would just need to make sure if you don't want people to see it that you do actually remove it from any playlists that it happens to be in. And once again you've got those same options to email a reminder. So that's basically something that's completely missing from YouTube Studio is the ability to actually time the sort of takedown of videos as well. There's one more option in terms of scheduling and that is scheduled video update. I think you can guess what's coming here. But this is just basically being able to set a time when something is going to change with the video and you can change all sorts of things. So you can change the title, the description, the tags, the privacy as well. You can even change the thumbnail. So if you've got something, again, that is maybe got some time sensitive thing on the thumbnail itself, for whatever reason, I'll leave you to evaluate that. You can actually have it so that the thumbnail will switch at a certain time. And then you've also got this option here. So if I was to change the title, and I'm just going to stick something in, X, Y, Z, you've got some options with all of these where you can either overwrite or you might want to add it after. So you want to add some text after the original title or you can add it before. So you've really got some flexibility here. Again, with the description as well, you can do the same. So let's just say, for example, you had a longer waited Zoom course that you were intending to launch and you knew the launch date and you wanted to give a special discount offer on the date of launch, which would be a very bold thing to do. Then you could have it so that it basically prepends the thing to the description with the go and check out the course here or whatever at a specific date. Or similarly, it could take that down. If you've got a special offer that's running throughout a particular month, then you might want to just go and update the description to sort of take that down but have it sort of timed from the very outset. So that is the actual scheduling tools that we've got with TubeBuddy. So as you can see, it's quite versatile. Now, assuming that you've got your video up and running or rather, you know, all scheduled, you've worked on your SEO, you've got all your titles, crafters and things like that, one thing that a lot of people want to do is actually embed their videos into either web pages or places like that and finding out the sizes that you actually want for, you know, the video and all the little bits of code because there's lots of different things that we can change on our embedded videos. So for example, things like the, you know, do you want the playhead on there? Do you want to hide the YouTube tools or the things like that? The YouTube logo and everything like that. It can be a little bit tricky to actually figure out that code and I know that a lot of people struggle with that. Well, fortunately, there is also the advanced embed tool in TubeBuddy and that's what I'm going to be talking about in the next video. So I'll be explaining all about how to use that and by the way, it's very simple. So I'll see you in that video.
