  I think you are probably just missing a step! How to Upload Windows Movie Maker Videos on to Youtube 1. First you need to make sure you have your video ready and saved as a Windows Movie Maker file. Go to 'File', and just under 'Save Project As..' there should be 'Save Movie File'. If you don't see it just hold down Control + P. 2. A windows should appear prompting you where you want to save your movie file too. Select 'My Computer' and Press 'Next'. Now you need to think up a video name and where you'd like to save it. Save it on your Desktop for easy future access. 3. Now you need to choose 'Video Settings'. If not already choose 'Best quality for playback on my computer'. You may have to click 'Show More Options' to see it if you already do not. 4. The video file will begin to save on your Desktop or preferred location. Head over to Youtube.com and click on the yellow button in the top right-hand corner that reads 'Upload'. Upload the movie file and enter it's name, description, tags, and other stuff. 5. Congratulations! You've successfully upload a Windows Movie Maker file onto YouTube. Could your video be the next big hit? I hope this helps! Brett M, Windows Outreach Team
