How to upload webinar recordings to youtube

[rebecca214]

I recorded a webinar, it generated 6 files (as below) and stored in zoom's cloud. How can I upload the file to youtube with Shared screen with speaker view + speaker view (just like the live webinar with shared screen on the left and speak thumbnail on the right)?

- shared screen with speaker view

- shared screen with gallery view

- Speaker view

- Gallery view
- Audio only

Hope you can help with a solution 🙂

Regards,
Rebecca

Hello, Rebecca. Here are the steps to put a Zoom recording on YouTube.

1. Download the MP4 recording if it is in the Cloud. If locally, you already have the recording, and no need to download it. If you have multiple MP4 files, I would use the one that is 1920x1080. That is a great size for YouTube videos. 
2. Go to YouTube and sign in. 
3. Click Upload Video - See the attached image for a screenshot.
4. Click Select Files or drag and drop. 
5. Run through the steps adding a video Title, description, etc. - Another Screenshot. 
6. Decide if you want the video Public or Unlisted. That will be one of the steps when you have to select.

I hope that helps and please make sure to mark the solution as accepted if this information is what you need.

Your solution begins with downloading those 6 files to your computer. On the Zoom Portal go to Recordings, click the " ••• " button and select "Download (6 files)".

At that point you can go to your YouTube Studio page and select "Upload Video" to upload your Zoom Recordings. I might suggest creating and saving them into a YouTube Playlist.

Hi, @rebecca214,

The quick answer is, it's two steps: download the video file you want from Zoom, then upload the file to YouTube.

Beyond that, I'm not sure what level of information you're looking for.  You can download all of the videos from Zoom and view each one to see which one you want -- it's most likely the "shared screen with gallery view".

Let me know if you need additional help on reviewing and downloading Zoom recordings; also if you need specific help with uploading to YouTube.  Please consider enabling Private Messaging here on the Zoom Community, and you can request more personalized help without sharing personal information about your accounts.

Hi Rebecca,

To upload your webinar to YouTube with the shared screen + speaker view layout (like during the live session), you'll want to use the "Shared screen with speaker view" file from your Zoom recordings. This file already contains the exact layout you're looking for.

Steps:
1. Download the "Shared screen with speaker view" MP4 from your Zoom cloud recordings
2. Upload directly to YouTube Studio
That's it!

This file captures what your attendees saw during the live session, so no editing is needed unless you want to add an intro or trim content. The other files you mentioned serve different purposes - "Speaker view" would only show the speaker without the shared screen, and "Gallery view" shows multiple participants, so the "Shared screen with speaker view" is definitely your best choice for replicating the live webinar experience.

If you do this regularly, there are tools that can automate the Zoom-to-YouTube upload process to save time. Just something to consider if you're managing a lot of content. Hope this helps!
