Top 5 Questions1,Can I download videos to watch later?  
No, currently you can't download our videos to your computer. YouTube's video player is designed to be used within your browser as an Internet experience. As an alternative to downloading, you can temporarily save videos to watch later by adding them to your QuickList. If you'd like to save them more permanently, login and click "Save to Favorites" under the videos you'd like to keep.
Top 5 Questions 2 What video file formats can I upload?
YouTube accepts video files from most digital cameras, camcorders, and cell phones in the .WMV, .AVI, .MOV, and .MPG file formats.
Top 5 Questions1 Why isn't my video showing up in search?
Depending on site traffic, changes to video information can take 8 hours or more to show up in the search index after they've been uploaded, changed, or removed. This includes changes to tags, ratings, views, and comments. Please be patient -- the video will show in the search index shortly. To bypass this time, you may want to send your friends the link of the video via email or private message.

To find videos that were recently uploaded, you may want to sort by "Date Added". To do this, search for the terms that describe the video. From the search results page, click the "Date Added" link on the left of the screen. This will allow you to see the most recently uploaded videos first.

Note that unless the username of the uploader is specified as a tag it may not be indexed for a video search. To find a user (and their videos), perform a search for their username and then select "Channels" on the left side of the page.
Top 5 Questions4 How do I watch and save videos?
Watching videos on YouTube couldn't be easier—just come to the site and browse around, or search for subjects that interest you. To save videos permanently, you need to sign up as a member, and then click the "Save to Favorites" link underneath the videos you want to watch later. You can also use the QuickList feature to save videos temporarily; they will disappear from the list when you quit your browser.
Top 5 Questions5How do I upload a video?
Once you’ve finished editing your video, made sure it's less than 10 minutes, smaller than 100MB, and in an acceptable format, you're ready to upload it.
  1. Click "Upload Videos" in the upper-right-hand corner of any YouTube page.

2 General Questions

1 About YouTube
From the You Tube Website Created  so you can print the whole thing and not have to keep clicking Back and Forth
1 a What is YouTube?

YouTube is an online video streaming service that allows anyone to view and share videos that have been uploaded by our members.
1b How do videos get featured?
YouTube's members rate videos they like, and we review highly-rated and recent videos for consideration in the "Featured Videos" section of the home page and the featured videos on the "Categories" page. In addition, our programming team takes suggestions from members at editor@youtube.com and scans the site for videos of interest.
1c What is TestTube?
TestTube (http://www.youtube.com/testtube) is an area of the site where we try out new features to get feedback from users before they're officially launched.
2  Signing Up.
 2 a How do I join?
To become a member of YouTube, go to the "Signup" page (http://www.youtube.com/signup), choose a username and password, and enter your information. Then click the "Sign Up" button and you're done.
2b How do I confirm my email address?
Confirming your email address is required to perform many actions on YouTube, like uploading videos and posting comments.

New members can follow the steps below to confirm your email:

  1. Once you’ve created your username in our Sign Up page (http://youtube.com/signup), we’ll send a confirmation email to the address you entered.
  2. Click the “Confirm your email address” link within that email. You can also copy and paste the provided link into your browser if you prefer.
  3. You’re done! You’ll be directed to a confirmation page, and you can immediately begin exploring the site!

If you signed up prior to February 2007 and have not yet confirmed your email address, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Confirm Email page (http://www.youtube.com/email_confirm).
  2. Enter the email addresss you would like to use as your contact for YouTube. Please enter the email address you used when you joined.
  3. Click the "Submit" button.
  4. Check your email for a message from YouTube and click the link in the email to complete the confirmation process.

If you don't receive the confirmation email within a few minutes, be sure to check your spam folder to make sure it wasn't misfiled.

   2c  I keep being told the username I want is taken. How do I find a user name that works?
YouTube has experienced a lot of growth in user numbers. As a result, you may need to get a little more creative with your user name selection. Try adding other characters before or after the user name you wish to use—many people add their birth year or other identifying information, like this: Maria1972, MariaNY. You can also bracket the name with other characters like this: xxUSERxx.

You can only use letters and numbers for your user name; no spaces or special characters like dashes or underscores are allowed.
User names are not case-sensitive, so 123ABC will be recognized as the same as 123abc. Therefore, if someone else has the user name you want but capitalizes different letters than you, you still can't create that user name.

If you forgot your user name, you can retrieve it here (http://www.youtube.com/forgot_username).
3c The verification code will not accept.
When you sign up to become a YouTube member, the verification code may sometimes produce color combinations that make it hard for people with colorblindness to correctly discern the characters. If you're having trouble, try clicking the "Can't read?" link under the verification code box. This will change the color combination. If you continue to have trouble, you may want to ask a friend to help confirm the code being displayed.
3 d I never received my confirmation email. What happened?
If you have just joined YouTube, the confirmation link is included in the "Welcome" email you received after signing up. If you were already a member of YouTube and are now confirming your email, you will receive a separate confirmation email.

If you don't receive either the welcome or confirmation email when you expect to, check in your email client's spam folder—some are more aggressive than others about identifying spam. If you still haven't received it after several hours, you can try confirming your email again with a different email address by returning to the "Upload" page (http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_upload).
4 Browsing the Site. 4a How do I find my uploaded videos?
In the upper right corner of most pages, you'll find a line of links to all of your stuff: videos, favorites, playlists, inbox, and subscriptions.If you're on a page that doesn't have this bar (such as a video watch page), you can get to your videos by clicking the "My Account" link at the top of the page and then clicking the "My Uploaded Videos" link.Or you can go directly to your videos (http://www.youtube.com/my_videos).
4b How do I find cool videos to watch?
There are lots of ways to find cool videos to watch. Here are four to start with:
  • If you know what you're looking for, you can type keywords into the Search box at the top of every page.
  • Click on the Videos tab to browse the site; the links across the top give you an idea of what other folks on YouTube find interesting, and you can dig deeper within each one using the Time, Category, and Language links on the left to refine the list of videos.
  • You can also browse the site from the Categories tab to find videos in a more specific area (for example, Pets or Comedy), and refine the list from there using the Search box within the category.
  • When you find other members whose videos you like, you can subscribe to them so that you're notified whenever they upload new videos—the newest four will show up on the home page when you login, or you can view all of your subscriptions to see them all at once.
4 c How do I get back to a video I watched a couple of minutes ago?
At the top right corner of each page is a line of utility links. Click the "History" link to see your Viewing History since you opened the browser. This list is cleared out every time you quit the browser, so if there are videos you want to save to watch later, save them to your Favorites or to a Playlist.
 4 d. How do I clear my Viewing History?
At the top right corner of each page is a line of utility links. Click the 'History' link to see your Viewing History.

9a How do I embed videos on my website or blog?
To embed a video, just copy the code from the "Embed" box—you can find it in the "About This Video" box when you're watching the video.

You can also get the code from the "Embed HTML" box on the "Edit Video" page (http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_edit) if the video is yours. Once you've copied the code, just paste it into your website or blog to embed it.

For more information on embedding, you should check out our Sharing YouTube Videos page (http://youtube.com/sharing).

9bCan I make my embedded videos autoplay?
Yes, you can autoplay movies! In the "About This Video" section of the video watch page, we give you the source code to embed the video:

You'll need to have a device that can capture digital movies—this could be a camcorder, digital camera, or even your cell phone!

For more detailed information, read the Making and Optimizing Your Videos guide (http://www.youtube.com/t/howto_makevideo).

For some types of cellphones and mobile devices, you can also upload to YouTube directly, without copying the file to your computer first.
10b Do I have to have a camcorder to make videos?
No. While camcorders are a great way to make videos, they aren't the only one. You can make videos with a webcam, digital camera, or even some cellphones

10d How do I use my webcam with YouTube?
There are two ways to use your webcam with YouTube. You can record video using the software that came with the camera, and then upload it to YouTube, with or without editing first. You can also record directly to YouTube using the QuickCapture feature.
10e What is QuickCapture and how do I use it?
QuickCapture is a way to record video directly into YouTube. You need to have a webcam or camcorder attached to your computer and a confirmed email address to use this feature. To record and upload video using QuickCapture:
  1. Log in to YouTube. Make sure your camera is attached to the computer and working.
  2. Go to the "Quick Capture" page (http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_quick_capture).
  3. Enter the information about your video in the left column. This is required before you begin recording.
  4. If you get a message that says "www.youtube.com is requesting access to your camera and microphone," click the "Allow" button.
  5. If you don't see a picture in the record section, you may need to choose a different video source from the video dropdown in the "Record Video" window.

  7. When you're finished recording, click the "Done" button if you're satisfied with your video, or click the "Re-Record" button if you'd like to try recording it again.

YouTube accepts video files from most digital cameras, camcorders, and cell phones in the .WMV, .AVI, .MOV, and .MPG file formats.
11b How do I edit my video?
Most computers come with some sort of video editing application already installed, such as Apple iMovie or Microsoft Movie Maker. Using these programs, you can easily edit your videos, add soundtracks, change the file type, compress the file size, etc.

There are also more advanced editing programs available for purchase or download online. We encourage you to look around and find the editing software that's right for
11c What is an .MSWMM file?
A .MSWMM file is a Windows Movie Maker project file. By saving the project, it allows you to return to the movie and make modifications at a later time. However, if you're satisfied with the movie and would like to upload and share the result through YouTube, you will need to choose "Save Movie File" under the "File" menu (which is different from "Save Project", which creates the .MSWMM file).
11dWhat is an .mov file?
Files saved with a .mov extension are QuickTime movies. They are often created by iMovie on a Mac, but other video editing programs can also save in this format. QuickTime .mov files can be uploaded to YouTube without any additional conversion.
11e How do I change the audio track in my video?
Want to turn your masterpiece into a music video? Ready to refresh your soundtrack? YouTube now offers a simple way to add a different audio track to your video. It's called AudioSwap, and we're trying it out on Test Tube (http://youtube.com/testtube).

If you'd like to try it on one of your videos, you should first make sure it's alright to have your audio permanently replaced for that video. If you're okay with that, head to our AudioSwap page (http://youtube.com/audioswap_main), and click the "Try AudioSwap" button. You'll then be able to access a page showing your video on the right and the audio tracks you can choose from on the left.

Select a genre, artist, and track – don't worry, you can play around with as many as you want before adding one to your video. Keep the length of your video in mind, making sure the audio track you select is as long or longer than your video so your entire video has sound. Once you've selected a track, click the "Publish Video" button. When you're asked if you want to change your audio track, click the "OK" button. Depending on the length of your video, it may take some time to update the audio.

12aWhy isn't my video showing up in search?
Depending on site traffic, changes to video information can take 8 hours or more to show up in the search index after they've been uploaded, changed, or removed. This includes changes to tags, ratings, views, and comments. Please be patient -- the video will show in the search index shortly. To bypass this time, you may want to send your friends the link of the video via email or private message.

To find videos that were recently uploaded, you may want to sort by "Date Added". To do this, search for the terms that describe the video. From the search results page, click the "Date Added" link on the left of the screen. This will allow you to see the most recently uploaded videos first.

Note that unless the username of the uploader is specified as a tag it may not be indexed for a video search. To find a user (and their videos), perform a search for their username and then select "Channels" on the left side of the page.
