Is the mobile app free?

Yes, the YouTube Studio mobile app is completely free. Download from the App Store or Google Play Store, sign in with your creator account, and start managing.

Can I edit videos in the YouTube Studio app?

You can edit metadata (title, description, tags) on mobile. Full video editing requires YouTube's separate editing tool or desktop software. The app focuses on management, not creation.

Why doesn't my app show all analytics features?

Some analytics features (detailed retention graphs, export data) are web-only. The mobile app shows essential metrics and trends. Use the web version for deep analytics analysis.

Can I schedule videos on mobile?

Yes, upload and schedule videos directly in the app. Select your publish date and time. The app queues uploads and publishes automatically at the scheduled time.

What should I do if the app crashes?

Update the app to the latest version. Clear the app cache in settings. Log out and log back in. If crashes persist, use the web version (youtube.com/studio) until the app is fixed.
