Here’s a short tutorial I created to show how to add your YouTube channel to Buffer so you can schedule videos or promote them through linked posts. Watch it here:

While Buffer doesn’t support direct video uploads to YouTube, you can add YouTube links to your social queues and automate promotion across platforms.

In the video, I show how to:

  1. Connect your YouTube channel to Buffer for link tracking
  2. Paste in video URLs as scheduled posts for Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.
  3. Use Buffer’s first comment or hashtag features to optimize promotion

This is perfect for creators who upload natively to YouTube but want to amplify reach without copy-pasting links everywhere.

I also explain how to set up a template for promoting new videos using your custom thumbnails, emojis, and tags.

Are you using Buffer to automate video promotion yet?
