Things to keep in mind

  • You don't need any special equipment to get started! You can record, edit and upload all from your phone.
  • After you get your first upload out of the way, try sticking to a posting schedule that you can maintain. Remember, consistency is key.
  • Short videos are fun, and Shorts make it easy for anyone to get started immediately.

We recommend

Try uploading a test Short to get comfortable with the steps. Use YouTube's video privacy settings to set your Short to public, private or unlisted mode.
