What you need to bulk schedule YouTube Shorts
- A folder of video files matching what your spreadsheet references
- A spreadsheet with one row per video, including title, description and publish time
- A tool that supports Shorts specifically, not just long-form video
Validate before you commit
Check every row against the platform’s limits — caption length, media type and dimensions, and a valid publish time — before scheduling the batch, so a single bad row does not surface as a failed post days later.
