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.

1. Prepare Your Video

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.
 File Size: Compress the file if necessary to ensure it's manageable for uploading without
losing too much quality.
