There are a few ways to get started on YouTube. We offer up different formats and functionalities, giving you the flexibility to create everything from Shorts, which are vertical videos that run 60 seconds or less, to longer form videos.
No matter what you're creating, you'll need to start by creating a YouTube Channel.
First you need to sign in to YouTube using a Google Account.
Once you're signed in, click 'Create Account', and choose whether it's for you or for your business.
You can then create a YouTube channel on your account, upload videos, leave comments and create Shorts and playlists.
Next, you'll want to upload your videos!
Uploading is easy. You just sign in to your YouTube account and then click on the 'Create' icon.
If you're planning to upload a longer form video, select 'upload video' and then choose your desired video file – you can upload 15 files at a time!
If you'd like to upload a YouTube Short, you'll need to be signed in to YouTube mobile, where you'll tap 'Create' and then 'Create a Short'. From here you can either upload a video from your camera roll or create using our suite of lightweight tools.
