Again, we couldn’t find any large-scale studies on the best time to publish YouTube Shorts. However, it’s likely to be different from regular YouTube videos, as they don’t require as much time to watch. For example, people may be more likely to scroll through YouTube Shorts on their lunch break or during their commute, but they might not sit down for a longer YouTube video until they have plenty of free time in the evening. You’d need to run your own experiments and check your video analytics to find your own best time to post YouTube Shorts, but early morning to late afternoon might be a good starting point.
