Video Transcript

"Hello, my name is Luis Estrada, and I am a software developer. In this video, I'll show you how to make a YouTube video. First, you have to create an account on this site. Click on the Sign Up link. Provide your Email address and a password. A strong password has both letters and numbers, and it is at least eight characters long. Depending on the value entered, the page shows if you have a weak or strong password. Then, provide user name. Press on the availability link to check if another user already has that user name. Since there are millions of YouTube users from all over the world it might take you a while to find a user name that is not already taken. Then, enter the rest of your information, and insert in the field the text that appears in the image, select the acceptance terms, and press on the button. Your account will be created, and an Email will be sent to you to verify your Email account. Go to your Email Inbox, and click on the link provided in the Email. Once you have confirmed on the link you will be able to upload video to your account. Press on the upload button. Now, enter the information about your video. Choose a category and add tags for the video. These tags are key words that describe your video, and they allow the website to find your files when someone looks for any of these key words. Then, press on the upload video button. Browse to the location where you store the video file. YouTube supports the most popular video formats, like Windows Media Video, QuickTime, AVI, Flash Video, Divx, MPEG, etc. Depending on the file size and your Internet connection speed, uploading the file could take several minutes. The file size allowed is up to one gigabyte, but video duration should not exceed ten minutes. Make sure you read the copyright guidelines. You should only upload videos that you have created, and do not violate any copyright laws. Once the upload is finished the video is processed by the website, and you will be able to see it in your account. You can insert this video in any web page by selecting the code on the right, and pasting it into the page's html source code. I am Luis Estrada, and I have just showed you how to create a multimedia website using FrontPage."
