Youtube has a feature anyone can use for publishing a video on a certain time. Scheduling private videos to go public at a specific time.
Schedule a video to publish later
To schedule a video's publication time you have to do a few simple steps. Firstly you have to set the video as "scheduled" or "private" on the upload page. To break it down from the beginning, you must sign in to your Youtube Studio or just use the Youtube app. Select the create button and then press on the upload videos, You must then select a file that you'd like to upload and enter your video details. Click on the schedule card and then proceed with selecting the date, time and the time zone that you want your video to be published under. Lastly select a schedule to finalize scheduling the video. Though it's extremely important to note that if you have a community guidelines strike, your scheduled video won't be published during the penalty period. Your video is going to be set to "private" for the penalty period duration and sadly you will have to manually reschedule it when the freeze period ends.
Edit scheduled publication time
You can also change or edit the scheduled publish times or even publish video right away. Steps are pretty much the same, You have to sign into your youtube studio or just simply use the youtube app, select the content menu or press on your videos in the application. Select the video you'd like to edit. Press on edit and visibility. From the dropdown available change scheduled publish time and make sure the visibility is private. Click on edit draft and then choose the new time under the "schedule". To publish the video immediately, just choose the visibility to be public and then press on publish.
