If you have an account YouTube , you have the option to create a chain. This personalized space allows you to store and distribute all kinds of content. To create a video on a channel, you must prepare it in advance on your computer and import it into the platform.
You can upload up to 15 videos at once to YouTube. Be careful though, the number of daily video creations is limited. This number varies by country and channel restrictions. If exceeded, YouTube will send you an error message. You can upload vertical or horizontal videos: the display of the service will adapt automatically. Videos may have different upload and publish dates depending on whether they are private or public. To learn all about importing video to YouTube, follow this complete tutorial.
