Golden hour

The same video. A different best hour on every platform.

Golden hour is when a platform’s audience is most awake and scrolling. Post then and more people see it in the first hour, which is when the platforms decide how far to push it.

Live

Somewhere, it’s golden hour right now.

Every audience has an hour when it’s scrolling. Octoque posts then, in your audience’s time zone, not yours, so the same video lands in Dubai at 19:00 and in New York at 19:00.

Your audience’s clock, not yours

A creator in Mumbai with fans in New York posts at New York’s golden hour. Pick up to three audience regions.

Learns from your audience

On Instagram we use the hour your followers are online. Once you have a few posts, we see when your own audience responds and move your golden hours to match.

Always your call

Prefer a fixed time? Pick one, post right now, or add the post to your queue. Golden hour is the default, never a rule.
