How to Upload YouTube Video | Step-by-Step Guide

Are you a doctor planning to share your medical knowledge, tips, or clinic updates on YouTube? Great idea! YouTube is one of the most powerful platforms to educate patients, build your brand, and grow your practice online.

If you’re not sure how to upload a video to YouTube, don’t worry—this guide will walk you through each step in simple English.

🎬 Step 1: Start the Upload Process

  • Go to YouTube.com
  • Click the upload icon (a camera with a “+” sign) in the top right corner
  • Make sure your video file is ready on your device

📁 Step 2: Select and Upload Your Video File

  • Choose the video you want to upload
  • Once selected, YouTube will start uploading it automatically

Tip: While the video uploads, you can fill in important details like the title, description, and thumbnail.

📝 Step 3: Add Basic Details

  • Title: Keep it simple and relevant (e.g., “3 Tips to Manage High Blood Pressure”)
  • Description: Write a few lines about what the video covers
  • Thumbnail: Upload a clear image or use one suggested by YouTube
  • Playlist: Add the video to a playlist (like “Heart Health Tips” or “Clinic Updates”) to keep your content organized

Don’t overthink it—just start with the basics and improve over time.

🔐 Step 4: Set Video Visibility

YouTube gives you three options:

  • Public: Anyone can view the video
  • Unlisted: Only people with the link can watch it
  • Private: Only you (and those you specifically invite) can see the video

If you’re just getting started, you can upload your video as unlisted to review it before making it public.

🗓️ Step 5: Schedule Your Video

Want to upload videos ahead of time?

  • Use the schedule feature to pick a specific date and time for your video to go live
  • This helps you stay consistent and keeps your audience engaged

Example: Post every Wednesday at 8 PM to build a loyal viewer base.

🕒 Step 6: Stay Consistent with Your Uploads

  • Set a simple schedule (like 1 video per week)
  • Use tools like a content calendar or reminders
  • Don’t aim for perfection—start small and stay regular
