How to Upload Videos to YouTube from iPhone & Android
in this video i'll show you how to
upload videos to youtube
from your iphone and android phones or
tablets
including your custom thumbnails and how
to optimize them
for more views hey it's justin brown
here from primal video where we help you
grow an audience and scale your revenue
with online video
if you're seeing value in this video
make sure you're giving us a thumbs up
it does make
a huge difference and all the links to
everything we mentioned in this video
you can find linked in the description
box below so let's jump into it these
days it's easy to create and post your
youtube
videos all from your smartphone the
process is actually very similar on both
ios and
android but there are a few little
hidden settings that you definitely want
to pay attention to
to maximize your video quality and set
your videos up right
to maximize your views there are a
couple of really small differences
between ios
and android so we'll cover these off as
we go through so there's two apps you're
going to need the first one is the
youtube app which is what you're going
to use to actually do the uploading
and then you want the youtube studio app
which is where you can customize it up
and add your custom thumbnails and
all that fun stuff so you want to go
ahead and open up the youtube app
first and the first thing i'm going to
do is to check your settings to make
sure that you're going to be uploading
at the highest
quality possible so you want to come up
to the little profile picture review in
the top right hand corner
come down to settings and these are all
your youtube settings you want to scroll
all the way down to where it says
uploads now i strongly recommend that
you are uploading your videos on wi-fi
so they're not burning through all your
mobile
data but you want to set here upload
quality you can see here it's set to
1080.
if we select on that we actually get the
option to choose full quality
which is what i would recommend this
will mean that we're uploading the best
quality video through to youtube
so once you've got that selected go back
and then you can close out of settings
again and again this setting is only on
the iphone or the ios side of things
android doesn't have this setting
anymore it's already set as default
to upload at maximum quality okay so now
you want to go up to the top and you
want to press on the little camera icon
and you want to go down to upload a
video now if you haven't uploaded from
your device before you will need to
allow access
and grant permissions through so we can
go okay on these
now you want to select your video to
upload so i'm going to go ahead and pick
this one here six minutes 54
which is one of our youtube videos that
we've already edited down now if you
want to learn how to edit from your
smartphone or even which of the best
video editing apps on ios and android
right now
then check out the links down in the
description box below we've got some
resources there to help you
now this next screen here that we're
presented with is only
on ios we don't get this on android but
it's really not that important we're
going to skip it anyway but what it is
is it'll let you trim down your video
here so if you want to adjust the start
time
or the end time you can do that here and
you can also apply
filters to change up the look and feel
of your video here but if you've already
edited your video down
you've already gone through this entire
process so we can ignore this and all we
need to do is hit next in the top corner
to where we're going to enter all of our
details for our video
so we're going to go ahead and enter in
our video title so we can just tap on
where it says create a
title and we can type that in or if
you've already pre-planned your video
and you've already got your title and
your description and everything planned
out into a document ahead of time
then you can just copy and paste that
information in when you're in the app
this is going to save you a lot of time
when you're actually entering all of
this stuff
because you've already got it
pre-planned out and ready to go so i'm
going to go ahead and open up a google
document
which is where we've got all of our
information here ready to go into this
video
so i'm going to select our video title
here
and hit copy come back across to our
title
and paste that in exactly the same with
our description
i'm going to go back across and copy in
our video description
including all of our links and
everything
and i'm going to hit copy come back over
to
youtube app where it says add a
description i'm going to select on that
and paste all of that text
in there and back out of that one now
next we're going to change our video
upload status from public
to private so that our video isn't
instantly going to be released publicly
we're going to lock it down as public so
that we can go across into the youtube
studio app
and add our custom thumbnail and any
other settings or adjustments we want to
make to our video before it goes
live next you can add a location in here
as well
where the video was shot where you're
uploading from this isn't really a
requirement
but to add it in just press the plus
button there you will need to grant
access if you haven't
before and hit the plus again and let's
choose
which is where i am and you also have
the ability to add your video directly
into a playlist if you've already got
playlists created where this video is
going to be a
fit once you're done with those settings
you want to hit next
and this is where you need to answer
these two questions around if your video
is made for
kids or not so we're going to select
here no this video is
not made for kids obviously if your
content is made for kids then you'll
need to select
yes so we're gonna go with no and the
second one here do you want to restrict
your video to an adult audience it says
this one is optional
i'm going to leave this as no don't
restrict my videos to viewers over 18.
obviously select which is the fit for
your content
then you just hit upload and your video
will start uploading i would recommend
that you're leaving your phone on and
your app
open while this upload is happening just
so that there's no potential issues with
the video that
you are uploading now you can see in our
case here it went straight from
uploading to processing and that's
because it was actually uploading in the
background
because we're on wi-fi and we're also on
very fast wi-fi so it didn't take too
long to upload
so once the uploading is completed you
will then go through and process your
video
and then you're able to see it in the
youtube studio app so i'm going to go
ahead and open up the youtube
studio app and this is a test account
that i have there is our video listed
there as our most recent uploaded video
if you're not seeing your video there on
the home page you can come up to
the little menu button in the top left
hand corner come down to
videos and it will be shown in there so
we've got best free video editing
software we're going to press on that
one
now to add in our custom thumbnail you
want to come up to the little edit
button
in the top right hand corner there press
on that then you want to hit that little
edit button in the top
left hand corner of our image there on
the screen
to edit our thumbnail where they want to
come down to custom thumbnail
and go ahead and select your thumbnail
image so we've got our one here
we're going to select that that's now
added to our video now if you'd like to
learn how to create
amazing looking thumbnail images from
your iphone or android device
then check out again the links in the
description we've got a couple of videos
there to help you out
now you want to go down to the bottom
here and select add tags to add in all
of your video tags here
so these could be things that are
related to your video so our video topic
here best free video editing software we
would have things like editing
software and after each one you just
press return and that will create it as
a tag now we've already gone ahead and
created some tags again that we can copy
and paste in
so i'll go back across to our google
document here
grab our youtube tags and copy and paste
those
in copy
and paste and we've now got all of our
tags entered in there from there you
want to come across to the advanced
settings at the top there and you can
specify a category for your videos now
we have found that the category doesn't
make a huge difference overall
but pick the one that is going to be the
best fit for your content
i mean for our content we would fit
under people and blogs we would also fit
under how to
and style and we'd also fit under film
and animation as well
so we're going to leave this one as film
and animation for us
again just pick the one that's closest
for your content you can then specify
the licensing or the ownership rights of
your content there
with this next drop down so you get to
choose youtube standard license
or creative commons the creative commons
pretty much means that other people can
use your stuff
as it says there with attribution so
them giving you credit for your content
we're going to leave this as standard
youtube and we're also going to leave
all of the rest of the things enabled
there to allow comments
that users can view ratings for this
video and also to
allow this video to be embedded on
places like our website as well
once you're happy with all of those you
just need to hit the little save button
in the top right hand corner
and your video settings are now saved so
now at this point your video is all set
up and ready to be released
so if you want to release this now then
we just go back into the edit button
and come down to where we set it to
private and we just hit public
and hit save and our video will now be
released immediately
now if you want to schedule this to be
released at a later date or a specific
date or time
then we can come down here and choose
scheduled and we can select
the date and time where we'd like our
video to go live all you need to do then
is hit save
and your video will be released at that
specific
time so that's how easy it is to upload
your videos to youtube from your iphone
and android device

create amazing looking thumbnail images
for your youtube videos from your iphone
or android device
