 Hello and welcome the following walkthrough. We'll take you through a step-by-step process of how to upload a video Directly to YouTube now. This is the internet and things change and this is current as of January 16th 2014 so the first thing that you want to do is go ahead and navigate over to YouTube comm and go ahead and log in with Your account once you're logged in with your Google account should kind of show you kind of your basic channel page This however is not where you want to be if you look up here at the top You see there's a little button that's called upload go ahead and click this button When you get here This is a screen that you normally go to when you want to go ahead and upload files So if you had files that came directly off a camera This is the place to put those but in this tutorial we're going to talk about how to use webcam capture So the set steps that you should have already accomplished at this point is plugging your webcam Into the computer at your laptop or one of the machines in the classroom and you're going to go ahead and Click record That'll take you to this screen and here it's going to pop up with this little adobe flash set player settings What you want to do is give the Computer and YouTube permission to access your webcam so go ahead and click the little radio button next to the green check mark that says allow and Walla you have access to your webcam and you can see what's going on now if you look down here below Below me you're going to see a button that says start recording go ahead and click that start recording button at this point YouTube is collecting the camera that is coming in through your webcam So this is really ideal if you want to go ahead and stream directly to YouTube from class So that you can go ahead and upload that when you're finished with the presentation or you're finished recording your message Go ahead and click stop recording At this point you can either start over if you have a reason to or you can go ahead and upload Let's assume that this was a video that we liked and let's go ahead and click upload So it'll take a couple minutes depending on your bandwidth speed and how busy things are but for the most part It's pretty fast. You can see just on my home internet It's already ready to go at this point go ahead and give your video a fancy title and Some sort of description making spelling errors always good and at that point you're ready to go There's a couple of things over here that I'll just briefly touch upon I have my YouTube settings set up so that any video that I put up Automatically is registered under the privacy setting as unlisted meaning it's not going to show up on my YouTube channel And it's not going to be searchable This is the ideal setting if you want to keep videos private but still easily accessible To your students and colleagues and so forth you'll see in here that there's a couple different options Public and private you put it on public It's going to show up on your channel, and it's going to be searchable on YouTube if you want that great If not unless it is better the problem with setting it to private is then only people that have access to To it are going to be able to get it and why that seems like that might be great in my experience It's more trouble than it's worth and having a unique YouTube URL has really never caused any problems to me But ultimately that's something that I will leave up to you below here. You can set your category I tend to like leave my education and then we're good at this point Go ahead and click save changes and the video is updated So if you go ahead and go to your video manager You will now see that the video that we just recorded is already up and ready to go And we can if we wanted to pop in here and see it look at that handsome guy And that's basically all there is to it Thanks
