How do you make a you tube video can do you use a webcam or what?

When you open the you tube homepage, there is a bright yellow button that says "UPLOAD" when you click it, it gives you two options. You can upload from a file you have on your computer, made by video camera, or upload by web cam.

pretty much any kind of camera works.

You don't need to have a digital camera or camcorder. YouTube lets you create vids right from your webcam. It's called "QuickCapture", and with it you can upload & record straight to YouTube using just your webcam. Nothing else is needed, not even editing software like Windows Movie Maker, iMovie, or expensive software. If you want to learn more, here's the complete URL of the YouTube Help Center reference with its direct link: www . google . com / support / youtube / bin / answer . py ? hl = en & answer = 57409 http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=57409 Believe it or not, if you'd like, you can actually upload your very own webcam video right here-and-now. Just click on my link below, and it will take you straight to "YOUR VERY OWN" QuickCapture -- where you can start recording right away. The only thing you need to do is click on the "Allow" bullet.
