Every self-respecting streamer must know how to upload a video to YouTube correctly, so we are going to leave you a small guide in case it is the first time you try it.
How to Upload or Post a Video on YouTube
YouTube offers quite simple uploads for your videos, but it is true that you will have to adapt to some formats, especially in terms of the type of video file. Specifically, these are the formats supported by the platform:
- .MOV
- .MPEG-1
- .MPEG-2
- .MPEG4
- .MP4
- .MPG
- .AVI
- .WMV
- .MPEGPS
- .FLV
- 3GPP
