### **What is the best day to post on YouTube in India?**

Sunday brings in the most engagement on YouTube in India, followed by Saturday. Tuesday and Wednesday bring in the least, about 11% less than Sunday.

### **Why does posting time matter on YouTube?**

YouTube's algorithm considers initial view velocity and engagement rates in the first 24-48 hours to gauge a video's potential performance and determine its recommendation priority. The platform's recommendation system uses these early signals to test videos with broader audiences, making posting time crucial for maximizing early exposure.

### **How does Postpone determine the best posting times?**

We look at recent YouTube posts from accounts connected to Postpone, up to 100 from each. Every post is scored against its own account's typical numbers, so a large account and a small one count the same and one viral post can't skew the results. Then we add up that engagement by the day and hour each post went out, in the poster's own time zone, and smooth it so a single busy hour doesn't stand out on its own.

### **Should I always post at the same time on YouTube?**

Consistency helps your followers know when to expect you, so a regular slot inside one of these windows is a good default. Try a few of them and compare how your own YouTube posts do.
