How to Upload a Video to YouTube From iPhone

Want to get started with YouTube but are not sure how to upload your first-ever video? If you recorded with your smartphone, you can upload your video directly to your YouTube channel from your iPhone or Android device. Here’s how.

Launch the YouTube app on your phone and log in to your YouTube (Google) account. Then, from the bar at the bottom of the app, select the “+” (plus) sign.

YouTube will open a “Create” menu. Select “Upload a Video” from this menu.

You’re now on the “Add Details” screen. Here, tap the “Title” field and enter a title for your video. Tap “Add Description” and add a description to your video.

Then tap “Public” to choose who can watch your video on YouTube.

On the “Set Visibility” screen that opens, select one of these visibility options for your video:

Tap the date and time drop-down box and choose a date and time for your video’s release. Once this is done, tap the back arrow icon at the top-left corner of the app.

Then, at the top-right corner of the app, select “Next.”

You’ve now reached the “Select Audience” page. Here, you’ll define for who your video is made.

If you choose “No, It’s Not Made for Kids,” specify further options by tapping “Age Restriction (Advanced).” Then, at the top-right corner of the app, tap “Upload.”

Your video will begin to upload to YouTube. When that’s done, you can find your uploaded videos in the Library > Your Videos section of the YouTube app.

And that’s how you take the first step in your journey towards becoming a YouTuber!
