Key takeaways
- Bluesky has no built-in scheduling feature — every scheduled Bluesky post goes through a third-party tool.
- The Bluesky API (AT Protocol) supports both image posts and video posts, so a scheduler can queue either.
- Bluesky limits the number of images per post and applies its own video length and size limits, independent of any scheduler.
- Confirm your specific tool supports video specifically, since some Bluesky integrations were built for images first and added video later.
Schedule Bluesky images and video: bluesky has no native scheduler
Unlike Meta’s platforms or LinkedIn, Bluesky does not offer any built-in way to schedule a post for later. Every scheduled Bluesky post — text, image, or video — comes from a third-party tool that holds the post and publishes it through the AT Protocol API at the set time.
Scheduling images and video
To schedule an image post, upload the images to the scheduler’s composer, write the post text, and set the time; the same flow applies to video, though not every scheduler added video support at the same time it added images, so confirm your tool handles video specifically before relying on it.
Limits to check before scheduling
Bluesky caps the number of images in a single post and applies its own file-size and length limits to video — these are set by Bluesky, not by the scheduler, so a post that fits comfortably elsewhere may still need trimming for Bluesky specifically.
FAQ
- Does Bluesky have any native way to schedule posts?
- No, Bluesky has no built-in scheduling feature at all — every scheduled Bluesky post, regardless of media type, comes from a connected third-party tool.
- Can I schedule video posts to Bluesky, not just images?
- Many schedulers now support Bluesky video alongside images, but this was added after image support in most tools, so check your specific tool rather than assuming video is included.
