A Premiere is a scheduled upload: YouTube starts its countdown and then plays the prerecorded video at the time you set. OBS encoder auto-start applies to live streams, not to starting a scheduled Premiere.
Why OBS does not start a Premiere
A YouTube Premiere is set up through the video upload and scheduling flow in YouTube Studio. Once scheduled, YouTube runs the countdown and plays the uploaded video for viewers together at the chosen time. OBS is an encoder for sending a live video and audio feed; its connection to YouTube does not control a scheduled Premiere. YouTube’s Premiere instructions and its overview of live streams and Premieres describe them as separate workflows.

Schedule a Premiere to start at a set time
- Upload the finished video in YouTube Studio.
- In the video’s visibility and scheduling flow, choose Schedule, select Set as Premiere, and choose the date and time.
- Set the countdown theme and length if you want to customize them, then schedule the video.
- Share the Premiere’s public watch page. Viewers can visit before it begins to set reminders, chat, and comment.
At the scheduled time, YouTube starts the countdown; when it ends, viewers watch the video together. Premieres do have format constraints: YouTube’s help page says Shorts are not supported and that 360/VR180 video or output greater than 1080p is not supported. Check YouTube’s current Premiere guidance when preparing the upload, since platform requirements and Studio labels can change.

What OBS auto-start does—and does not do
YouTube’s live-stream settings describe encoder auto-start and auto-stop as controls for starting or stopping a stream from the encoder. That setting is for a live stream, where OBS sends a real-time feed; it is not documented as a way to trigger a scheduled Premiere. To use OBS auto-start, configure the YouTube live stream and its encoder settings in Studio, then start sending the stream from OBS. See YouTube’s live-stream settings guidance.

| Workflow | What viewers see | What starts it |
|---|---|---|
| Scheduled Premiere | A countdown followed by a prerecorded video watched together | The scheduled time in YouTube Studio |
| YouTube live stream via encoder | A real-time video and audio feed | The encoder begins sending the configured stream when live-stream auto-start is enabled |
| Live Redirect to a Premiere | Viewers move from a live stream to the Premiere | The redirect hands off viewers; the Premiere remains scheduled separately |
Use a live pre-show and hand viewers to the Premiere
If you want to appear live before the prerecorded video, schedule the Premiere first. Then configure a YouTube live stream and its Live Redirect to send viewers to that Premiere. The live stream is the part OBS can encode; Live Redirect moves the audience to the scheduled Premiere. It does not make OBS start the Premiere. Tell viewers that they will be handed off when the pre-show ends. YouTube documents Live Redirect alongside its live-stream settings.
What about plugins, scripts, or other automation?
The native YouTube Studio and encoder instructions cover scheduling a Premiere and starting a live stream as separate actions. They do not establish whether a specific third-party OBS plugin, custom script, or external API workflow can trigger Premiere-related actions. If you are considering one, verify that it supports the exact action you need and check its current compatibility and security before granting account access. For the documented, built-in approach, schedule the Premiere in Studio rather than relying on OBS to launch it.
