How to upload a video to YouTube...
First of all, you need to setup your YouTube channel. Here are my videos about that.
Then, here is the simple way to upload videos to your channel...
1. Sign into your YouTube studio account.
2. Click the "Create" button on the upper right... and attach your video file.
3. Keep all the settings for the video as default (except for video title - just name it something relevant for now - we'll get better with titles later in the course). At the last step, for visibility, select "Public" so that your video is searchable. Click "Publish".
You've uploaded your YouTube video!
For more about the various settings during the video upload process, watch this video:
