One of the most popular sites on the entire Internet, of course, is YouTube. A significant part of the video on YouTube is gaining hundreds, millions of views. Indeed, there are so many videos that you can laugh at. In addition, video blogs have recently gained popularity. Themes are very different: from cosmetics to books. In general, this site is a great place where you can show yourself, find like-minded people, become famous. But how to post a video on YouTube to a beginner? About this and not only - in the article.
How to upload a video on YouTube
In fact, this is absolutely nothing complicated. However, first you’ll have to not only shoot the video that you will be “uploading” to the site, but also go through all the stages of registration in the Google system, because you won’t be able to upload the video to YouTube in any other way - you must have your own account.
Instructions for action:
- Sign in to YouTube
- in the upper right corner you will see the “Login” checkbox. Click on it;
- you will be prompted to enter a username and password, but since you don’t have one yet, click on the “Create an account” text in the upper right corner;
- then the usual step follows - filling in all the necessary columns necessary 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 it. The username is better to come up with an original, memorable. This will be especially useful for those who want to become an active user, and want to be recognized by nickname;
- do not forget to accept the "Terms of Agreement" and introduce captcha.
Done! Now you are a full-fledged user of not only this portal (thanks to which you can add videos to YouTube), but also the entire Google service. On the page that opens, you will be asked to select a photo. This procedure is optional, you can just click "Next".
On the new page, the administration will congratulate you, and a little lower will allow you to return to "Back to YouTube", which should be done. You will be asked to subscribe to some popular channels or something else. The action, again, is voluntary. Click "Continue."
Now your name flaunts in the upper right corner, and the cherished words “Add video” are next to the search bar. Click on them. Accept 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, it is necessary. Those people who like your videos will be able to subscribe. This will let them know that you have uploaded new videos and watch them on time. Roughly speaking, the creation of a channel is limited only to the fact that you agree to this. The rest will be done by the system.
Now you can go directly to the question of how to put the video on YouTube. On the screen there is an inscription “Select files to download”, and above it there 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 specify tags and select one of the three proposed video thumbnails. Click on the one you want to see as a preview.
We hope that now you can easily upload videos to YouTube!
