 Hi Ryan here again and if you've been following along this is another video in a series on basically how to take video and Put it on to YouTube So if you're watching these in order, this would be the second video in the last video I showed you how to directly upload using your webcam This walkthrough however shows you how to upload a file that you use if you use the method where you record it Your computer and now need to take that file and put it up to YouTube So just to catch you up if you are doing this out of order We've gone ahead and navigated to YouTube calm We've signed into YouTube and we have something that we want to put on the YouTube So I'll go ahead and walk you through this again So the first thing that you want to do once you've signed in is click the upload button This should be familiar if you're watching these in order again. We've got this screen But this time we do not want to click the webcam capture button because we've already got a file Instead what we want to do is go ahead and drag and drop the file that we recorded directly to our computer Using that method so since I already have one the previous file that I want to upload from the last walkthrough Anyways, we'll conveniently use that as our example So I go ahead and find that file on my computer And then I just take the file and I drag it on over here to YouTube and it will do its magic Now you'll notice here that while the last video when I recorded it uploaded relatively fast There's a bit of a time delay when you upload directly now There's a lot of benefits to Using the record directly to your computer one if the internet goes down you still have a backup copy If you don't want to have to access student videos from YouTube at home You've got the hard copy inside of that But the big disadvantage that method is the time delay so I'm gonna go ahead and pause this recording and pop back in in a couple of seconds But you can see here that the estimated time to finish uploading is about 11 minutes So and that was only from the few minute video that we had again if you do this on campus Where you have a much higher upload it's gonna go faster But here on my home DSL. It's rather slow. So we'll be back in just a second when this thing finishes And we are back. I bet we really really wish that in real life I could fast-forward things as fast as that went So at this point the video is Uploaded to YouTube and if you needed to you could go ahead and leave why it does the processing since this was such a Small video it won't take it very long in the process and it will show up live Pretty fast at the link that you have here But if you were like uploading videos at the end of class or something you could go ahead and leave at this point Because it's going to finish them. All right Let's go ahead and click on over here and just verify that everything is working And as you can see it's got our video from before and it looks like it is up and it is good So this go ahead this will go ahead and conclude the process of uploading a file directly to YouTube. Thank you
