- In this video, I'm gonna show you all the apps you need
if you're on Android and you wanna be a YouTuber.
And we have a lot of apps to go through,
so I'm gonna move through them a little bit quickly.
But before I jump into that, I want you to go down
and leave a comment below.
Let me know if you're new to the channel, #new.
And let me know if there's anything I can help you with
that's mobile or app-related.
I do read every single comment and question
and I answer as many of them as possible.
And when this video's over, I'm gonna go down there
and carry on the conversation.
Now, let's move on to the first thing that you're gonna need
if you're on Android and you wanna be a YouTuber.
So the first thing you're obviously going to need,
you already have it and that's a camera on your phone.
Now, the question is, do you need an app
to make your camera better?
And that depends on what your goal is.
However, the native camera in your phone is probably
good enough, especially if you have a newer phone.
But if you want those manual controls,
I recommend an app called Open Camera.
It's an amazing app, it's really easy to use.
So you can dial in the look that you're trying to achieve.
And at the time of this recording, it's not available,
but it is coming, so it might be available at any time.
But I'm gonna put a link right there to Moment app.
It currently only supports photos, but videos are coming.
It's 2.99, it's a fantastic little app.
Again, you can watch what I think of it by clicking on here.
And if you're wondering if you actually need an app
for your camera, the answer's probably no.
But it will make everything a lot easier
once you learn how to work the manual controls.
If you don't wanna put the time into learning
the manual controls or it doesn't matter
for the type of content that you're shooting,
then you don't need an app for that.
Now that you've recorded your video,
you need something to edit your video with.
And for that, I recommend KineMaster.
It's a really easy-to-use app to get started on.
And you can also get access to more assets there
such as more audio, transitions, and so on.
And it's a really easy app to use.
I'm gonna put a link right there to a video that I did
where I showed you how to do a simple cut
with an easy transition that you can make on your phone.
I personally think it's the best editing app for Android.
But if it doesn't work for you,
you can also check out an app called PowerDirector.
And then of course, once you have your video put together
and you've rendered it out using one of those apps,
you need to upload your video.
For that, you're gonna use the YouTube app.
Really simple, you can just go in, upload your video,
add your title, add your description,
and you're off and running.
Now, once your video starts uploading
or once it's finished uploading,
you're gonna wanna make a thumbnail for your video.
For that, I highly recommend an app called Snapseed
and I'm gonna put a link to that right there
where I walk you through how to make a simple thumbnail.
And if you don't like Snapseed,
there's another great app called PixelLab.
And if starting with a blank canvas intimates you
a little bit, that's not a problem
because you can also use the Canva app,
which allows you to start with a pre-made template
or you can just go in and change the background.
You can change the text, you can move it around,
and you can create your own thumbnail
using someone else's template.
And that's a great app for people who are just starting out.
And once you've created your thumbnail,
you need to upload it to YouTube
and you use the YouTube app for that
and it's super, super easy for that.
And I'm gonna put a link right here
to walk you through that process.
So now you've created your video, created your thumbnail,
you've uploaded it, published it.
It's off and running, you're getting views,
you're getting comments.
But you have to manage all of this.
And the way you do that is with the YT Studio app.
This is an app created by YouTube
and this is where you can go in
and answer all of your comments.
You can check your analytics and manage your channel.
This is a must-have app.
If you don't download any other apps
that I'm talking about today, you have to download this app.
Now, if you're making the type of content that requires
screen recording, and that means recording the movement
and whatever happens on your screen,
I have two apps that I'm gonna share with you for that.
One of them is called Mobizen
and I'm gonna put a link to that right there
for a video that I recently made.
And the other one is called DU Recorder.
Now, here's the thing about screen recorders.
They don't work perfectly on every phone
and the type of Android model you have
and the chip set that's inside,
that's gonna determine how well it can record
as well as if it can record internal audio or not.
One size does not fit all when it comes to screen recorders.
But again, check that link out.
Download Mobizen, put it in your phone first,
see if that works on your device.
That's my personal favorite app out of the two.
If that one doesn't work, try DU Recorder second.
If you wanna live stream and put your beautiful face
out there on the internet for the entire world to see,
you can use the YouTube app
or you can use an awesome app like Streamlabs.
Both of them will get you up and running
and live streaming on YouTube quickly.
Now, both of those apps are great.
But if you choose the YouTube app, I made a video about it.
I'm gonna put a link to it right here, so you can watch that
and I walk you through the entire process
of how to go live using the YouTube app.
Gamers, if you wanna stream live using your phone,
you can check out Omlet Arcade or the YouTube Gaming app.
But note that the gaming app is different than
the YouTube app and the YT Studio app.
The gaming app is a standalone app.
Now, I should've mentioned this one before,
but if you wanna make an intro for your video,
and listen, you don't have to have an intro for your video,
and if you do make one, I recommend keeping it short,
three to five seconds, maximum.
I'm gonna put a link right here to the video that I did.
Watch that video and look at the Legend app.
That's the one that's available for Android.
It's very easy to use and you can make your own intro
in probably less than a minute.
And we can't forget about your channel art
because when somebody lands on your channel,
you're gonna want a banner on the very top
that lets people know what your channel is about.
And I made a video about it using the Canva app
and I'm gonna put a link to it right there.
It's super easy, it's free.
Follow that video and be sure to use the template
that I put in the description of that video
and you can make your own channel art really quickly
using the Canva app.
So now, all of that's out of the way,
we need to talk about the most important app
that you could possibly put in your phone.
And that's TubeBuddy.
And actually, I think I'm wearing one of their shirts
right now and this is not a paid video.
But I do recommend downloading this app.
It is free to put in.
Now, the free version is capped on the features.
If you wanna unlock everything, you have to pay for it.
But in my opinion, it is totally worth it
because you wanna make sure that you're creating
the right content.
You wanna make sure that you're adding the right titles
and you're adding the right keyword phrases.
You wanna make sure that all of that's put together
because if you're making content that people are not
interested in, then why are you making it?
Because it's gonna go up and nobody's gonna see it.
So if you wanna get the absolute most out of your videos,
you wanna use an app like TubeBuddy
and you wanna learn how to use it.
And I give you a quick walkthrough on this video right here.
I strongly recommend watching that video
and learning as much as you can about TubeBuddy.
It's not a miracle app.
It's not something that you put in
and everything's just gonna work for you.
You actually have to learn how to use it
and then put the tool to work for you.
I like that TubeBuddy is like having a very powerful tool
in your tool chest.
Another great tool to have is Morningfame.
Now, Morningfame doesn't have an app,
but they do have a website that's mobile responsive.
I'm gonna put a link in the description down below.
Thank you so much for watching, I do appreciate it.
