How the Upload Schedule Planner works
Set Creator Timezone and Audience Region, choose Platform, Content Type, and Day Preference. The planner applies heuristics (weekdays 17–21 local; weekends 12–16; Shorts ≈ −2h; streams ≈ +1h), then returns the top three audience-time slots for the next 7 days plus your converted local times. Copy all times or export the first slot as an .ics calendar event.
Example: Max the Minecraft Player
Max lives at GMT+2 but targets US/CA East (GMT-5). For Shorts he posts at Mon 11:00 audience (his time 18:00) and for longer videos at Mon 16:00 audience (his 23:00). He exports the .ics and gets a phone reminder 10 minutes before each slot.

Turn time zones into an advantage
Align your local workflow with your audience’s evening prime. Use a simple conversion cheat-sheet so you can schedule uploads without guessing.
| Slot (Audience GMT-5) | Your Time (GMT+2) | Best For | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15:30 | 22:30 | Shorts ⚡ | 🏫 After-school scroll; fast feed |
| 17:00 | 00:00 (+1) | Shorts / Long 🎯 | 🌆 Pre-prime ramp; high CTR |
| 18:00 | 01:00 (+1) | Long 🎬 | 🛋️ Evening sessions begin |
| 19:00 | 02:00 (+1) | Long / Premiere 🎥 | 🔥 Peak viewing window |
| 20:30 | 03:30 (+1) | Live Stream 🟣 | 💬 Chat active; lower upload competition |
| 21:30 | 04:30 (+1) | Memes / Clips 😴 | 🌙 Night-owl crowd |
Batch then schedule
Record 3–5 Shorts in one session and queue them for the next week’s prime slots. Lock thumbnails and only A/B the posting time.
Build a simple 5-day cadence
Stick to one repeatable rhythm. This sample plan targets US/CA East while you work from GMT+2. Adjust the times ±30 minutes if your analytics show earlier spikes.
| Day | Format | Audience Time (GMT-5) | Your Time (GMT+2) | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mon | Shorts ⚡ | 17:00 | 00:00 (+1) | 🔁 Kick off the week strong |
| Tue | Long 🎬 | 19:00 | 02:00 (+1) | 📈 Guides retain well |
| Wed | Shorts ⚡ | 15:30 | 22:30 | 🧪 Earlier A/B window |
| Thu | Long 🎬 | 20:00 | 03:00 (+1) | 🔥 Prime + less competition |
| Fri | Shorts ⚡ | 18:30 | 01:30 (+1) | 🎉 Weekend mood boost |
Don’t sacrifice processing
Upload 30–60 minutes before the slot so HD processing finishes in time. A blurred first hour can crush CTR and AVD.
A/B test windows without burning ideas
Keep title, thumbnail, and description constant; only shift the posting time (e.g., 17:00 vs. 19:00 audience time). Compare CTR after 24–48 hours and keep the winner for your cadence.
