How to connect YouTube

Sign in with the Google account that owns the channel and approve access. If you manage several channels, connect each one separately.

Create a BulkPublish account. The free plan connects three channels and does not ask for a card.
Open Channels and choose YouTube.
Sign in with YouTube and approve the permissions. BulkPublish stores the token, refreshes it on its own, and tells you if it ever needs reconnecting.
Write a post, pick a time, and queue it. There is nothing else to install.

Ways teams use the YouTube integration

Video creators, educators and marketing teams who publish on a regular cadence and want Shorts and full videos planned together.

Bulk upload a month of YouTube posts from a CSV in one pass, then let the queue send them out at the times you set.
Write once and cross-post everywhere. The same post, adapted per network, goes to YouTube and every other connected channel together.
Turn a blog or podcast RSS feed into an automatic YouTube post the moment a new item appears.
Ask an AI agent to draft the week, review it in the content calendar, and approve it. The agent schedules to YouTube through the MCP server.

Who publishes to YouTube this way

Each of these has a page of its own, with the networks and the features that audience leans on.

Automate YouTube from code or chat

The same YouTube account works through the API and an AI assistant, not only the app.

Post to YouTube from an AI agent

The hosted MCP server exposes 20 tools over OAuth 2.1, so Claude, ChatGPT, Muse, Grok, Cursor and any other MCP-compatible agent can draft, schedule, publish and read YouTube analytics for you. There is no API key to paste and nothing to run locally.

See all supported agents

YouTube API access

Everything on this page is available programmatically. One REST endpoint publishes to YouTube and every other channel, with SDKs for Node and Python, a Postman collection, and first-party nodes for n8n, Zapier, Make and IFTTT.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about scheduling YouTube posts with BulkPublish.

Can I schedule YouTube posts in advance?

Yes. Pick any future time in your own timezone, or drop the post into a recurring queue slot and BulkPublish picks the next opening for you. Scheduled posts publish on their own, so nothing on your phone has to be awake.

Can I auto-post to YouTube automatically?

Yes. A recurring queue publishes on a repeating weekly pattern without you choosing a date each time, and an RSS feed can auto-post to YouTube the moment a new item appears. Both run on our servers, so they keep working while you are offline.

How many YouTube posts can I schedule at once?

As many as your plan allows. Bulk Compose takes a CSV or a pasted list and turns it into a full schedule in one pass, so a month of YouTube content is one upload rather than thirty separate posts.

Can I plan a content calendar for YouTube?

Yes. The calendar shows every scheduled post across all your channels at once, so you can see what is going out on YouTube next to everything else, drag a post to a new slot, and spot the gaps before they happen.

What is the YouTube character limit?

5,000 characters per post. BulkPublish counts as you type and blocks anything over the limit before it is queued, so you find out while you are writing instead of when the post fails.

Can I post to more than one YouTube account?

Yes. Connect as many YouTube accounts as your plan allows, group them into channel sets, and publish to the whole set at once. Each account keeps its own schedule, its own analytics and its own token.

Do I get YouTube analytics?

Published posts are checked for their numbers and shown next to every other channel, so you can compare YouTube engagement against the rest without switching tabs. Link clicks are measured by BulkPublish itself, so they are available even where YouTube reports nothing.

Is there a free YouTube scheduler plan?

Yes. Three channels and thirty posts a month, with no card required. YouTube counts as one channel per connected account.

Still stuck? The Help Center walks through it step by step.

BulkPublish publishes to 15 networks in all. Each has its own page with its limits, post types and setup.
