On my YouTube account, I use scheduling of uploads a lot. The problem is when I do this IFTTT won't "see" my uploads. The only thing that it looks for is when you upload something publicly, and not when you upload something and then schedule it.
A similar question is this one: How to autoshare uploaded YouTube videos to Facebook fan page? but the IFTTT recipe solution there does not work for scheduled uploads.
I love IFTTT, but if I would have to use another service to catch my scheduled uploads for posting it to FB, then so be it. My IFTTT recipies would then catch the FB post and share it on my other social accounts.
Does anyone know how to do this?

IFTTT can't handle sheduled published videoes. Their support clarified this for me when I contacted them.
The free service Zapier, on the other hand, can solve this problem for you. I modified this zap a little:
http://zpr.io/GTQz(the link is now broken) and it works like a charm.Now I have Zapier zap a link from YouTube to my Facebook every time a shedueled video goes live.
I do not know how the mechanics of each service is set up, but I think the reason why Zapier handles the scheduled videos well, is that it checks a specific user every 5th minute, and doesn't rely on some kind of trigger from YouTube.
