Hey Steve, have you created a Youtube “Account”? Basically all you have to do is create a username and password. You need one because all videos you upload will be tied to your account or “channel”. If you have that set up already, just open Youtube and look in the upper right corner for a little icon that looks like and old fashioned movie camera. If you hover your mouse pointer over it, it should say “upload video”. Click on it and a window will open inviting you to drag and drop your video there. Then you will have to be patient while it uploads, and you have to answer a few questions. Where it says “Is this video for children?” be sure to answer “No”, or else you will have to jump through some additional hoops to prove that your video is child-friendly. Most of us just upload our videos as “Public”, rather than “Unlisted”, because then you will get a thumbnail of the video when you post it on the forum. Don’t worry, the trolls won’t bother you. Youtube does a good job of preventing them now days.
Then after your video is uploaded, you will be given a chance to copy the link (or you can get it at any time by clicking on the icon of yourself in the upper right of the Youtube screen and choosing “Your channel”). Then just post the link here on the forum, making sure to leave a blank line above and below the link.
