How to upload a video to YouTube

Ways to upload videos to YouTube

1. Uploading a single video via a web page:

• Go to https://www.youtube.com/upload.
• Drag and drop the video files into the upload box or select the files through Explorer.
• When uploading, fill in the metadata: title, description, tags, and category.
• Note that YouTube may block videos with copyright infringement (e.g., music or copyrighted footage).

2. Batch upload for regular postings:

• If you upload videos frequently, use the batch upload option. To do this, go to “Content Distribution” and click “Check and Upload”, then select files on your computer or drag and drop them into the upload box.
• For uploading more than 100 videos per month, it is better to use special programs like Aspera.

• Log in to your account, add the title, description, tags and category of the video.
• Click “Publish” and the video will be available on YouTube.

4. Upload via mobile app (Android):

• Open the YouTube app and tap the camera icon or “+” at the bottom of the screen.
• Select a video from the gallery and follow the instructions to add metadata (title, description, tags).
• Tap “Publish” to upload the video.

Video Metadata

Don't forget to fill in metadata such as:
