Guide to Upload Videos on YouTube

Uploading videos to YouTube is a straightforward process. This guide will walk you through
each step to ensure your content is successfully uploaded and optimized for your audience.

MP4 with H.264 codec is highly recommended.
 Resolution: Aim for at least 720p (1280x720) for good quality. Higher resolutions like
1080p or 4K are ideal.

losing too much quality.
