Best times to post YouTube videos based on real data Coming soon

There is no single "golden hour" that works for every channel. The best time is when your niche’s audience is scrolling — and for foreign-audience channels, that time is far off from Vietnam time. DeepNiche calculates the golden hour from the videos in your niche itself: which posting windows get the most views.

How DeepNiche finds the golden hour

Take recent videos in your chosen niche (by keyword or by competitor channel).
Place each video into a 2-hour window by the audience’s local time.
Compare each window’s median views to the overall level, keeping only windows with enough videos to be trustworthy.
Convert that window to Vietnam time so you can schedule your posts.

Time conversion: foreign audience = what time in Vietnam

The US, UK, Australia, and Europe switch between summer / winter time, so the offset shifts by 1 hour with the season. DeepNiche’s Posting Schedule tool calculates it automatically for the current date.

Audience	Offset from Vietnam time	8 PM there is what time in Vietnam
US (East Coast, New York)	11 hours behind (summer) / 12 hours behind (winter)	7–8 AM the next day
US (West Coast, Los Angeles)	14 / 15 hours behind	10–11 AM the next day
United Kingdom	6 / 7 hours behind	2–3 AM the next day
Germany, France	5 / 6 hours behind	1–2 AM the next day
Japan, South Korea	2 hours ahead	6 PM the same day
Australia (Sydney)	3 / 4 hours ahead	4–5 PM the same day
Brazil (São Paulo)	10 hours behind	6 AM the next day

Posting tips for foreign-audience channels

Schedule posts in YouTube Studio instead of staying up late.
Post 1–2 hours before the golden hour so the video has time to be processed and recommended.
Keep the same time slot every week so viewers get used to your schedule.

Frequently asked questions

What is the golden hour to post YouTube videos in Vietnam?

It depends on the niche. Many entertainment niches get good views in the evening, but education or news niches may differ. Use DeepNiche’s Posting Schedule to calculate it from real videos in your niche.

Is the posting time for Shorts different from long-form videos?

It can be. Shorts are recommended continuously over several days, so posting time matters less, but the first few hours still determine how hard they get pushed.
