Step 1
Convert your video file into MP3 format. MP3 files are smaller than video files and this will allow users to easily view the video without a long wait for downloading. If you don't have a program that will convert video file formats, download Apple's iTunes. The program is free and will convert most video files into MP3 format. If you already have a video formatting program, skip the next step.

Step 2
Download and install iTunes onto your computer. Upload your video into your iTunes library. After the video has uploaded, click on the video file. Click the "Advanced" tab and choose "Convert Selection for iPod or iPhone." The program will convert the file into a MP3. Save the MP3 file to your desktop.

Upload the MP3 file to your server and place it in the main folder that contains your website's home page.
