Step 1

Edit Your Video

Note: This guide assumes you’ve already recorded a video. If you haven’t yet and aren’t sure where to start, check out our video hardware recommendations!

Once you’ve recorded a video, the next step is to edit it! And don’t worry, there are many free and easy-to-use video editing apps to help you get started. Here are some options:

1. iMovie

iMovie is a great option if you use a Mac, iPad, or iPhone. It’s free on all Apple devices, and it’s really easy to use! However, it’s not available on non-Apple devices.

2. DaVinci Resolve

DaVinci Resolve is a free video editing app available on all devices (Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, and more). Use this option if you want an easy-to-use free editor on Windows and Android devices!

3. Premiere Pro Rush

Premiere Pro is the industry standard for professional video editing. While the original app is paid, they do offer an easier-to-use version called Premiere Pro Rush, which is free on mobile!

Note: When you’re finished editing the video, save it as an MP4 file. This will keep the video size small and keep it high-quality!

Step 2

Upload the Video to YouTube

Once you finished editing your video, head over to studio.youtube.com and log in.

Then click the “CREATE” button in the top-right corner, and choose “Upload videos”

After that, just select the video file you want to upload!

After you select the video you want to share, YouTube will automatically start uploading it. In the meantime, you can give the video a title, a quick description, and choose a thumbnail.

Once you’re happy with your title, description, and thumbnail, just complete any remaining fields and keep clicking “next” in the bottom right until it gives you the option to “save”

Note: Make sure to mark your video as either “Unlisted “ or “Public”!
Public means anyone can find and watch the video, whereas Unlisted means only people who you share the video with can see it.

Step 3

Share the Video on Your Website

Once you’ve uploaded your video, YouTube will give you the “Video Link” for the video. click on that to view the video.

From there, click the “Share” button on the bottom to open the sharing options.

Then click “Embed”

Then click on “Copy” on the bottom-right. That will copy the code in the textbox

Then just paste the code you copied into an HTML widget on your website
