When sending data(public At) to YouTube, the workflow time zone is not reflected. This is shown as an n8n error.

You can try setting the TZ for all workflows on the Admin → Manage page instead of setting it on the individual workflow. Not sure if that will be reflected in the “Publish At” setting, but there’s a chance.

If that doesn’t work, you may need to set the workflow’s TZ to match Google/YT servers (America/Los_Angeles ?)

Otherwise, you might be able to manually apply an offset (using an expression with date functions) to send YT the correct/intended time, based on something (e.g. Set/Edit Fields node) that DOES display the TZ-aware date/time.
