Hi everyone. My name is Kevin. Today I want to show you how you can upload a video to YouTube
using both your PC or your mobile phone. Either option. You know, surprisingly,
on my channel I get a lot of questions from people asking me how they upload a video.
It's pretty simple.
I'll show you how to do it.
Let's take a look at my computer here.
We're going to do it on the computer first.
The first thing I'm going do is I'm going to open up YouTube.
I've already typed in the URL. We're ready to go.
It's really, really, simple. Up here in the top right-hand corner on YouTube, you'll see a plus
button, and then you could upload a video, you could go live, or you could create a post.
Today we want to upload a video, so I'm going to click on upload a video.
This is going to bring me to a separate page where it says select files to upload or drag and drop.
So, what I can do is I can drag and drop a video file there if I want to.
So, let's say I want to drop this video file in here, I could do that,
but what I'm going to do is I'm just going to click on that and that's going to open up the
file dialog or the file picker, and then, you know, here I was on a trip recently in Oahu.
I have a bunch of video files,
and I'm going to take this video file of me swimming to the base of a waterfall.
So, I'm going to go ahead and click on that.
Now what you'll see is that's uploading the video.
It's uploading pretty fast as a smaller video file
and you know here I could type in me swimming to a waterfall.
I type in a title, here a description, maybe I'll make the,
I'll make the title Kevin under waterfall, and then descriptions a little more detailed.
Me swimming to a waterfall, and then I can enter different keywords.
Swimming, water, and then so once this video uploads, it looks like it's already uploaded.
Now it's processing, I'll be able to choose a thumbnail for it.
Alternatively, I could also create a custom thumbnail if that's what I want to do.
Here I could choose do I want to make the video public? Do I want to have it unlisted
so it's not publicly you can't find it, just through the YouTube search engine.
I could also make it private where you have to log in to be able to access it,
or I could schedule the post so I'm going to put this as unlisted because I haven't edited it.
It's not something I want to put up on my channel, I'm just going to put it as unlisted.
I could also choose a playlist that I want to put this on,
but so since I'm not going to put it in a playlist, just the basic video and then that's it.
You know, here I could choose my different thumbnails.
Here's a picture of a really handsome guy swimming under a waterfall.
So yeah, pretty easy to do.
Now I'm going to pull up my phone.
Here I am in the YouTube app and just like on the desktop,
there's a plus button in the top right-hand corner.
I'm going to click on that plus button.
I have a few different options, I could go live, post, or video.
I want to upload a video, so I'm going to click on video,
and I have this existing video of my son going down the slide.
One of the differences is I can't choose from all my videos.
I just have my most recent nine, or I could live record a video.
This one looks good.
It's a video of my son going down a slide. I'm going to click on next.
I think the video is great and then similarly
here I can enter a title in so I could call it let's say slide.
Going down slide and then I could choose the privacy level.
I'm going to make this unlisted as well, and then I could also put down a location.
But all that looks good and now I click on upload and now this also uploads the video.
So, whether I want to put an upload a video on my desktop, whether I want to upload a
video on my phone, it's very easy to do, however, I decide I want to upload a video,
and that's really all there is to it.
It's super simple to upload a video to YouTube.
Probably the harder part is editing the video and coming up with good content
to upload to YouTube. If I could just upload videos all day, I would.
I just have to edit them.
You have to come up with good content.
That's the hard part, but hopefully for everyone who's asked the question,
how do you upload a video to YouTube. That's how you do it.
It's pretty simple to upload a video.
