# Scheduling
> Canonical: https://skedsocial.com/features/scheduling
Native auto-publishing for every major channel, with the quirks of each one already handled, so your team plans once and stops babysitting the calendar.
### What you can count on at publish time.

- **8** – channels with native auto-publish
- **Unlimited** – posts in your queue
- **14 days** – free trial, no credit card

## Native publishing for every channel that matters.

Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube, X and Google Business Profile all publish natively, at the exact minute you set. Threads and Snapchat use notification-based publishing, so you get a reminder with everything attached the moment it is time to post.

### Post when your audience is actually watching.

Sked reads how your audience behaves and surfaces the best times to post inside the scheduler, so a slot in your queue lines up with the moment people are online. The recommendations live in Sked Insights and update as your audience shifts.

### The details most schedulers leave to you.

- **Every native channel** – Native auto-publish to Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube, X and Google Business Profile. Threads and Snapchat publish by notification.
- **Stories with link stickers** – Sked is the only scheduler that auto-publishes Instagram Stories with interactive link stickers already attached. No phone reminder, no manual re-upload at the last minute.
- **Recurring queues and bulk upload** – Build a recurring posting schedule and let new content drop into the next open slot. Bulk-upload a month at once, then fine-tune per channel.

### One composer beats eight open tabs.

**Posting by hand**
- Log into each network and post one platform at a time
- Rewrite and reformat the same caption for every channel
- Set a phone alarm for Stories and in-app-only formats
- Hope nobody forgets the launch post on a busy day

**Sked Social**
- Write once, customise per channel, schedule to all eight
- The recurring queue fills the next open slot automatically
- Stories publish natively with link stickers already attached
- The first comment is scheduled with the post to keep captions clean

Plans and channel limits live on the pricing page.

### Built for teams running real posting volume.

- **Agencies** – Keep every client on its own queue and calendar, hand over a no-login calendar link for sign-off, and publish across all their channels from one login.
- **In-house social teams** – Plan the month on a drag-and-drop calendar, spot the gaps before they happen, and keep evergreen content flowing without crowding a campaign.
- **Multi-location brands** – Coordinate posting across brands and locations, reuse a proven schedule, and bulk-upload so a busy launch week is set up in one pass.

### Scheduling is better with the rest of the workspace

- **Approvals** — Route posts through internal review or no-login client sign-off before they ever hit the queue.
- **Analytics** — See what actually performed, then feed the best times to post straight back into the scheduler.
- **Mobile app** — Approve, reschedule and get manual-publish reminders from your phone wherever you are.

## Questions about Scheduling

### Which platforms can Sked auto-publish to?

Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, X and Google Business Profile all get native auto-publish. Threads and Snapchat use notification-based publishing, so you get a reminder with the assets ready when it is time to post.

### Do you support Stories and Reels with link stickers?

Yes, and Sked is the only scheduler that auto-publishes Instagram Stories with interactive link stickers already attached, so there is no phone reminder and no manual re-upload at the last minute. Reels, carousels and feed posts all publish natively too.

### Can I schedule video content?

Yes. Schedule TikTok videos, Instagram Reels, feed videos and more. Trim, crop and edit clips in Sked's built-in video editor first, then send them straight to the scheduler.

### Can I schedule the first comment and tag products?

Yes. Schedule the first comment so hashtags stay out of the caption, and add product tags to shoppable posts. The per-channel quirks are handled so you do not have to think about them.

### Can I bulk-schedule and run a recurring queue?

Yes. Build a recurring posting schedule and new content drops into the next open slot automatically. You can also bulk-upload and edit many posts at once across accounts and platforms, then assign dates or add them to the queue.

### Does Sked suggest the best time to post?

Yes. Sked analyses how your audience behaves and surfaces the best times to post right inside the scheduler, so a slot in your queue lines up with when people are online. The recommendations live in Sked Insights and update as your audience shifts.
