Upload Your Video to YouTube

In our last post, we talked about making a video for your YouTube channel. Here’s a quick and easy way to upload that video.

To begin with, you must have a Google Gmail account or a YouTube account.

Also, make sure your video is in the proper format. YouTube supports a lot of formats, but the most common (and easiest to work with) are: .MP4, .M4V, .MOV, .WMV, and .AVI.

  1. Log onto YouTube – if you don’t already have an account, go to Youtube.com and click “upload” and you will be prompted to create one.
  2. Click on “upload” at the top of the page (it’s the little arrow pointed upwards).
  3. Choose the video privacy settings (public, private or unlisted).
  4. Select the video you want to upload from your computer.
  5. As the video is uploading, you can edit the basic information and advanced settings, and decide if you want to notify your subscribers that the video is up.
  6. Click “Publish” to complete the process.

Easy, right? Post a link to your latest video in the comments!
