Create a YouTube Account

Both address creating an account, channel art, and setting up your YouTube Channel. In the first video, the speaker talks really fast, but thankfully you can rewind and add close captioning (CC). They are slightly different, so watch both. See the attached document for details on creating your YouTube Channel.

In addition, the last link is to create an additional YouTube Channel if you already have one with your account and want to keep your videos and content separate.

How to Set-up Multiple YouTube Channels with One Account

If you already have a YouTube account or would like to manage multiple accounts with one Gmail, then this video is for you. This is not necessary, but will avoid you having to make multiple Gmails.

Uploading Videos to your YouTube Channel

See the links (Website with pictures, YouTube tutorial) below to see how easy it is to upload a video you made with your iPhone or Android. Make sure to change your setting to Unlisted. Here are the three setting you will find when uploading:

• • Public - anyone can search and view your video

  • Unlisted - anyone with your link can view

  • Private - only you can see your video
