And created the possibility to upload a video to YouTube we will perform the action.
At the top you will see a button with the word "Upload" button clearly indicates that click on the option to upload a video to our channel will open.
You have to specify the path where the video is hosted on your computer.
A page will appear where you have to enter all data accompanying the video, the YouTube algorithm can not read what is inside the video, the picture is blind to the platform, but the search engine can read and locate everything is around.
Click On the Up Vertical Arrow to Browse your computer to Select your local videos.Now select the video Which you want to Publish on Youtube
We must fill all explanatory video data, from the title to the geographical location, this will help to show the video in search results on Google.
If the Internet connection is good that you have the video upload time low but if you have a Slow connection upload the video will slow down.
It is essential to know the weight and video quality because longer heavier (this is measured in megabytes).
Also the quality will be an important factor, YouTube loves HD (High Definition) , better positions the content in this format, and therefore we recommend recording, editing and rise in this quality.
"Title, description and tags"
While you are uploading the video can go filling the descriptive fields, the title is the cornerstone, is where you describe what is visual content we are handling and has a factor of very high position, you have 60 characters and must use the keyword with which you want to place the video or if your goal is not position it you can place an identifying text.
The description is the part where you can extend yourself explaining everything you want, have up to 800 words and can insert active outbound links are links to click on them, users can visit other web spaces.
Take advantage of this space and develop all possible text, as I have said before YouTube is blind for images but not for text, this is what he understands, this text will be read by the spider Google and positioned next to the video.
In the description of a video from YouTube it is about the same text to develop a post in a blog.
The title is 80% of positioning the video!
Although a good description with keywords also benefit us when we want to position labels better ... and what they do is catalog the video.
In the area of labeling we can insert up to 18 keywords and are generic terms that placed the video. Under the drawer labeling and while we are writing appear related words (existing suggestions), if we find one that interests us can place it .
Once All upload process where finished You can Click Publish button to live your video on YouTube.
