Week7: Persuasive Speeches on YouTUBE- How to upload a video

Dear all,
I'd like to give you some information about the procedures of uploading your presentation videos onto YouTube.
1. You need to sign up and take an account from YouTube. If you don't have an account, you can create one, or alternatively, you can sign in using your gmail username and password.
2. On YouTube you'll see a link: Upload. Click on it and the page will take you through a few steps to complete.
a. Title: Give your video a title. For your friends to easily find the video on YouTube, start your title with ELTE108 (for example, the title of my video is ELTE108-Persuasive Speech:Vitamin Supplement).
b. Description: Write a description (e.g. Stop Taking Vitamin Supplements).
c. Video Category: Choose Education from the drop-down list.
d. Tags: Type ELTE108 (to help people find your video on YouTube easily).
e. Here you need to choose some options:
- Broadcast options: public by default (so that everyone can watch your video)
- Date and Map options: Enter the date of when you created or uploaded the video
- Sharing Options: Click on Choose Options to customize:
Comments: Yes, allow comments after I approve them
Comment Voting: No
Video responses: Allow after I approve
Ratings: Yes
Embedding: Yes
Syndication: Yes

After completing the steps above, click on upload. Your video will be uploaded in 5-10 minutes.
When the upload is completed, you will see a message saying:
Thank you. Your upload is complete.
Embed this video on your website. Copy and paste the code below to embed this video.

Copy the code. Then go to ELTE108 blog and open a new post message. On the right corner of the space for the new message, you will see two options: Edit HTML / Compose. Click on Edit HTML and paste the code in the space given. Give your message a tittle and publish it on the blog (So that your video will be played on the ELTE108 blog!).
