Step 1) Record or Upload a YouTube video
Using your webcam
If you have a webcam built into or connected to your computer, you can record a webcam video on YouTube and upload it directly to the site. Sign into Youtube (www.youtube.com). Note, when you sign in, make sure that you are on your company Youtube channel and not your personal page. You can verify what account you are under by clicking on the picture on the top right hand side of the page and seeing what account you are under.
Click on the Upload button on the top of the page.
Click on the Start Recording under the Webcam icon on the right hand side.
Allow your camera to be used to capture the video and audio.
Click on record. Don’t worry if you don’t see your smiling face right away, it will appear when you start recording.
Once you are satisfied with your recording. Click Upload.
Specify your video name, whether you want it public, unlisted or private (see section below called “Different Sharing Options). Add a description and tags using your high impact keywords. Decide whether you want it shared on social media and click publish. Now your video is available on Youtube.
Uploading a previously recorded video
- Sign into YouTube (www.youtube.com) and Click the Upload button at the top of the page.
- Select the video you’d like to upload from your computer.
- Before you start uploading the video you can chose the video privacy settings. Make any changes you want to the video settings and information, then click Publish to finish uploading it on YouTube. If you set the video privacy setting to Private or Unlisted, just click Done to finish the upload or click Share to privately share your video.
- If you don’t clicked Publish, your video won’t be viewable by other people. Once the upload is completed you will receive an email notifying you that your video is done uploading and processing. You can then forward that email to friends or family for easy sharing.
Step 2) Share it with your circles in Google+
On your Google+ homepage, click the “Video” option under Share What’s New.
Search for your YouTube video, enter the video url, or upload the video from your computer
Share the video with your Google+ circles, friends, and whoever else you want to view the video!
Different Sharing Options:
When you upload a video, by default it’s set as a “Public” video, which means that anybody can view it. You can easily change the privacy settings of your videos. Choose it while you’re uploading the video in the “Privacy Settings” section or, if you’ve already uploaded the video, change the privacy settings by following the steps below.
Your circles: You can choose to share with everyone in all of your circles, or just select circles that you have created. For help with creating circles, click here.
Private: A private video can only be seen by you and the users that you select. The video won’t appear on your channel or search results and will be invisible to other users.
If your channel is connected to Google+, you’ll see a field under the “Privacy Settings” drop-down menu where you can add the profiles or email addresses of the people with whom you’d like to share your video. They’ll need a Google account to view your video.
Unlisted: Making a video unlisted means that only people who have the link to the video can view it. To share an unlisted video, just share the link with the people who you’d like to have access to it, and they’ll be able to see it.
Unlike private videos, the people you share the video with do not need to have a Google account to see the video, and they can share with more people simply by forwarding the link to them. Unlisted videos won’t appear in any of YouTube’s public spaces, like your channel page or search results, but it could appear elsewhere on the web if you or anyone who you shared the video with shares it more broadly.
