Learn More: Video responses

Print

To respond to a video, click the "Post a Video Response" link below the video player. You will be given three options for choosing your response video:

Record a Video

This option lets you use your webcam to respond. YouTube will automatically attempt to detect your computer's settings.

  1. Click the "Allow" button in the window to allow YouTube to access your camera and microphone.
  2. Click the "Record" image to begin recording.
  3. Once you're done recording, click stop. After that you can preview, publish, or re-record your video. You can also change the video Title, Description and Tags to the left of the player.

Choose a Video

This option lets you respond with any video you've already posted./p>

Upload a Video

This option works like the normal upload process.

  1. Select the "Upload a Video" options.
  2. Click the "Start" button.
  3. Enter all of your video's information.
  4. Click either "Upload a video" to upload a file, or "Record from Webcam" if you decide to use your webcam after all.

Note: One thing to keep in mind—your video can only be used as a response once. If you've used a video as a response in the past and want to use it for a new response, it will no longer be listed as the earlier response.
