How to upload a video to YouTube

Tuesday, July 26th, 2011

We have known that YouTube allows us to upload video which is smaller than 2GB in size and is less than 15 minutes in an acceptable file format. YouTube supports a list of well known formats, WebM files (Vp8 video codec and Vorbis Audio codecs), .MPEG4, 3GPP and MOV files (typically supporting h264, mpeg4 video codecs, and AAC audio codec), .AVI (typically the video codec is MJPEG and audio is PCM), .MPEGPS (typically MPEG2 video codec and MP2 audio), .WMV, .FLV (Adobe-FLV1 video codec, MP3 audio)

Before upload videos to YouTube, at first you must sign up for a free YouTube membership to upload video. If all these things are in order, you can upload your video to YouTube by the following steps.

Step 1: Click the Upload link at the top of any YouTube page.

Step 2: Click the Upload video button to browse for the video file you want to upload to. Select the file you want to upload and click Open.

Step 3: As the video file is uploading, fill the information about your video in the relevant fields (including Title, Description, Tags, and Category). The more information you include, the easier it is for users to find your video.

Step 4: Click the Save changes button to save the updates you’ve made to the video file.
