How do I make/upload a video response?

To respond to a video, click on it while it is playing. You will see the video on the YouTube website. Click the "Post a Video Response" link below the video player. You will then be given three options for choosing your response video: Record a Video, Choose a Video, and Upload a Video.

Record a Video

YouTube will automatically attempt to detect your computer's settings if you choose to respond via QuickCapture. Click the "Allow" button in the window that pops up so that YouTube can access your camera and microphone. Before you can begin recording your webcam response, be sure to enter information into all the fields on the left hand side of the screen.

Choose a Video

The dropdown here allows you to respond with any video you’ve already posted. One thing to keep in mind—your video can only be used as a response once. If you've used a video as a response in the past and want to use it for a new response, it will no longer be listed as the earlier response.

Upload a Video

This works pretty similarly to the normal upload process. Click the "Upload a Video" link. Enter all of your video's information, then click either "Go upload a file" to upload a file, or "Use QuickCapture" if you decide to use your webcam after all.
