Quite a number of my friends often ask me ‘hi Samuel, please how do i upload a video on YouTube using my mobile device?‘
Did you for once thought that unloading videos on YouTube can only be done on a computer? Well, i understand that. After all, that was exactly the same thing i use to think until i finally gave it a shot and it was damn easy.
YouTube happens to be the best video sharing site and no doubt that my experience there has been awesome as i watch videos with ease. I also listen to playlist and much more and not forgetting uploading my videos (yep, i just started that off late).
Wouldn’t it be nice doing something creative and uploading it on YouTube for people to see? Obviously yes, right? And those thoughts of having to buy or own a personal computer before uploading can totally be wiped off, correct?
