Uploading and Editing with Youtube

Recently, I have gotten quite a few requests on uploading videos to YouTube and being able to edit your videos.  This is something that I do quite frequently because I am always making screen casts or tutorials of various things.  

First of all, YouTube is owned by Google, so if you have a Google email, you already have a YouTube account.  Now there are two ways that you can upload a video to YouTube:

1. Use your Computer to Upload - This used to be the only way to upload videos.  To upload this way, you will need to have video files saved to your computer.  Whether you are creating screen casts or you are plugging your camera into your computer to transfer those files to your computer, you need to have your video files saved on your computer.  When you have these video files on your computer, you can then go to YouTube and click the "upload" button.  See the video below to watch this process.
2. Use the YouTube App on your Mobile Device  - This process is probably the easiest way to get a video to your YouTube account.  You will again need to have a YouTube account and download the YouTube app to your mobile device.  After you have recorded your video, you need to export that to YouTube.  On an IOS device, click on the "Send To" button (which is the box with the up arrow).  On an Android, click on the "Share" button.  Check out the following images to see how to do that on either device.
