YouTube is a website that allows users to share videos. By creating an account, users can upload their videos and create their own channels of unique content. YouTube is an easy and convenient service to share promotional and informational content for University units. Content from YouTube can easily be re-purposed by embedding your videos, which means you can augment other social media content with video using this service.
Videos uploaded to YouTube must meet their Terms of Use, which prohibits copyrighted and certain offensive materials. There are recommended guidelines for helping users choose and upload the best video format possible, with considerations for encoding and aspect ratio. If you have problems uploading content, be sure to check that you are uploading an appropriate format; otherwise, you may need to alter your video for upload.
