How to put a video on YouTube
Actually, there is absolutely nothing complicated about this. However, first you will have to not only shoot a video that you will “upload” to the site, but also go through all the steps of registering in the Google system, because uploading a video to YouTube in another way will not work - you definitely need to have your own account.
Instructions for action:
- log in to YouTube;
- in the upper right corner you will see a "Login" checkbox. Click on it;
- you will be prompted to enter a username and password, however, due to the fact that you do not have it yet, click on the inscription "Createaccount", which is located in the upper right corner;
- followed by the usual stage - filling in all the required columns required for successful registration. In the fields "First Name" and "Last Name" it is not at all necessary to write your real data if you do not want to. The username is better to come up with an original, memorable one. This will be especially useful for those who want to become an active user and want to be recognized by their nickname;
- do not forget to accept the "Terms of Agreement" and enter the captcha.
Done! Now you are a full user not only of this portal (thanks to which you can add videos to YouTube), but of the entire Google service. On the page that opens, you will be prompted to select a photo. This procedure is optional, you can simply click "Next".
On the new page, the administration will congratulate you, and a little lower will allow you to return "Back to the YouTube service", which should be done. You will be prompted to subscribe to some popular channels or something else. Action, again, is voluntary. Click Next.
Now your name flaunts in the upper right corner, and next to the search bar - the cherished words "Add video". Click on them. Agree with the proposal to create a new channel. This is not exactly the same as an account. You can be a user without a channel, but in order to upload videos to YouTube, you need it. Those of the people who like your videos will be able to subscribe. This will allow them to know that you have uploaded new videos and watch them in time. Roughin other words, the creation of a channel is limited only by the fact that you agree to it. The system will do the rest.
Now you can go directly to the question of how to put a video on YouTube. On the screen there is an inscription “Select files to upload”, and above it is a large arrow. Click on it. Specify the path (select the required file). That's it, the video is loading! This may take some time, which is better spent on the original title and description, as well as specifying tags and choosing one of the three suggested video icons. Click on the one you want to see as a preview.
We hope that now you can easily upload videos to YouTube!
