This guide will show you step by step how to upload the videos you’ve taken with your Flip Camera to YouTube.
Please note: This guide was initially published back in 2011 and some of the software it references may have changed since then. It may be easier to just copy the video from your camera and upload it manually to YouTube.
- Start out by launching the FlipShare software. Select the video you want to upload to YouTube.

- Decide if you want everyone (the public) to be able to watch your video, or have it Private. For the sake of this tutorial, we’ll upload a video and make it available for anyone to watch – which is the default. Click the Share button when you’re ready.
