Help with recording your It's ME!


Using webcam to record video
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 making edits)


You can also record directly to YouTube using the My Webcam feature.

To record a video directly to YouTube, you'll need to have:

  •     A YouTube account
  •     A confirmed email address
  •     A webcam or camcorder attached to your computer

If you have all of these things, follow the steps below to upload to YouTube directly from your webcam or camera:

  1. Sign in to YouTube. Make sure your camera is attached to the computer and working.
  2. Go to the Record From Webcam page (http://www.youtube.com/my_webcam).
  3. If you get a message that says 'www.youtube.com is requesting access to your camera and microphone,' click the Allow button. 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.
  4. Once you see a picture coming from your camera, click the Record button to start recording your video.
  5. When you're finished recording, click the Stop button.
  6. Click the preview button to review what you have recorded,  if you're satisfied with your videoclick on publish, or click the Re-Record button if you'd like to try recording it again. 

When you click the publish button, your video will automatically be uploaded to YouTube and begin processing. You can edit information about the video by going to your My Videos page.






If you're having trouble using webcam, you may want to make sure any firewall software you may have is allowing connection to our server. If you're on a corporate or school network the connection could be blocked and you may want to check with your network administrator to find out what restrictions your network's under.
