So you need to upload a video to YouTube. Whether it’s for a class project, a presentation at work or to kick off a long-contemplated vlogging journey, uploading a video to the world’s most popular video-sharing platform is fairly simple. First you’ll need to make sure you create a YouTube channel if you don’t have one, as the simple Google account
you use to roam the platform alone won’t do. You can upload a video using YouTube Creator Studio on a computer or use the YouTube mobile app to upload directly from your video gallery. Here is how to share your visual genius with the world. How to upload a video to YouTube on a computer1. Log into YouTube Creator Studio. 2.

How to upload a YouTube shortThe YouTube mobile app allows you to upload videos shorter than 60 seconds and in a vertical or square aspect ratio as “Shorts,” a new style of video on the platform similar to TikTok videos. This option is available when you upload the properly formatted video following the instructions we provided earlier. If your video is longer than 60 seconds, but properly formatted, you can trim it to meet the length requirement within the app. Shorts can be posted with hashtags. Use the hashtag #Shorts if you want YouTube to potentially recommend your video across the platform. More YouTube tips
