Once you've recorded your video, you can either post it to YouTube as an “Unlisted” video or submit it directly using the form at the bottom of the page. Please note that both options require a Google account. Don’t wait until the last minute—make sure you allow yourself enough time to submit your video and confirm that it was uploaded successfully.

How To Post an Unlisted Video to YouTube
1. Log into your YouTube account. If you don’t have one yet, create one using these instructions.
2. Click on the “Create” icon in the top right corner.
This will give you the option to upload your video. Drag and drop your files, or click the "select files" button to locate your video and upload it.
3. Please be sure to give your video a helpful title—something like, “Your Name: Audition, Fall 202_”
4. Take care to select “Unlisted” as your privacy setting. This ensures that your video is only seen by people you share the link with.
5. Once your video has finished processing, watch it to make sure it looks and sounds how you expect.
6. Fill out the submission form, selecting “YouTube” as your submission method. Copy and paste the link to your video and submit.
