How does my private, scheduled video already have 5 views?

[Tboneplaya21]

I set a video up for last night to post at 12pm my time today. I have not watched the video at all, except to add annotations (and maybe once or twice on the edit screen to see if the annotation works). The weird thing is the vide already has 5 views...but it's set to private and scheduled to be posted in 2 hours....
So WTF is going on?!?!

You have answered your own question. When you watch it in the annotations screen, or anywhere at all, it adds a view

Did you make sure you set the GMT to the right time zone??

Does it still say it is scheduled or does it say it has been posted?

But it has never done this before. There is a video that I posted that has 1 view and i've watched it at least 3 or 4 times in the edit/annotation zone
that's the safe zone for us YouTubers.[DOUBLEPOST=1374254782,1374254732][/DOUBLEPOST]

I was confused when I woke up and saw it so after checking it still says private and scheduled and nowhere does it say published sooo....[DOUBLEPOST=1374254814][/DOUBLEPOST]

It's the ducks. They are evil.

Or you watched them.

If you watch it from different devices, it will bump the count. Computer, iPad, cellphone, and as Frankie mentioned, which I suspected, if you add annotations, that will be another view.

Either you saved the settings after it was published or you were the one who viewed the video. every time you load it it counts as another view, whether it be annotations or checking to see if it uploaded or checking to see if your annotations worked.

There's one person who always comments on my scheduled videos, I think he's using some sort of Youtube loophole that has to do with adding to playlists. It pisses me off because he comments before me, BEFORE THE VIDEO IS OUT >:C
