YouTube is an Internet resource that has existed since 2005 and is considered one of the most popular video hosting sites. Using a search by title or keywords, you can find and watch clips on YouTube on the topic of your interest. Plus, if you've filmed your trip by uploading this clip to YouTube, you can showcase it to your friends or your blog subscribers.

Instructions
Step 1
Adding videos to YouTube is available only for registered users. However, creating an account on this video hosting does not take a lot of time. In order to start registration, open the page https://www.youtube.com in a browser and click on the "Create an account" button.
Step 2
Fill in the fields of the registration form that will appear in the window that opens. You will need to provide your email address, the username under which you will appear on YouTube, the country in which you live, date of birth and gender. If you already have accounts on social networks, or you have several blogs, it makes sense to register on a video hosting site under one of your frequently used names. This will make it easier to find your channel.
Step 3
During the registration process, you will have to confirm your agreement with the terms of use of the resource and its privacy policy. This can be done by clicking on the "I Agree" button. Read these terms by clicking on the links above the button.
Step 4
After entering the password, the button "Create an account" will be available to you. Click on it.
Step 5
An email should be sent to the email address that you entered during the account creation process, with which you can confirm the specified address. If within an hour the message has not appeared in your inbox, open the page of the mail service you are using in your browser and check the "Spam" folder. It may happen that a letter sent automatically ends up in this folder.
Step 6
You can customize the look of your channel by choosing Channel from the drop-down menu in the upper right corner of the page. To select a design, go to the "Themes and colors" tab.
Step 7
In order to upload your video to YouTube, click on the "Add video" message. It can be seen to the right of the YouTube search bar. Select a file to download. As of 2011, video hosting rules allow uploading videos no longer than fifteen minutes and no more than two gigabytes in size. To start downloading the file, use the "Open" button.
Step 8
While uploading a video, you can change its title, add description and keywords. All this is not necessary for uploading, but by default the name of the uploaded file will appear in the title of your video.
Step 9
If you are not entirely sure that you are ready to show your video to all users, you can select the "Private" item in the clip display options. You can change this parameter, like the description, tags and title at any time. Use the "Save Changes" button and wait for the download to finish.
