You must be logged into your account to upload videos. Videos have a maximum time limit of 10 minutes and no more than 1GB of file space.
Upload videos to your account in a few simple steps:

While the video is loading add additional information about the video.
Title must clearly identify the purpose of the video and include key words when people search for the video.
