Sending+a+Video

Sending a Video Sending video as an e-mail attachment can be a problem, as most e-mail providers limit the size of attachments. Depending on your provider, the limit may be as small as 2 megabytes, so what do you do? The best solution is to upload the video to **YouTube** and use a little known feature of YouTube known as “privacy settings”. When you upload a video  (you can even record directly from your webcam on YouTube) You will be presented with a screen to name your file and add a description and to the right is a drop down menu for privacy settings. Privacy settings allow you to select if the video is public, unlisted, or private. Once you make a selection and click save YouTube will set the video to the setting you have selected.  Once you upload, go to the video and you will see a web address next to Video URL. Type that address in to an e-mail, and tell someone about what the video is, (along with your message) and click send. You will not need to worry about attachment size limits or long downloads for your friends, and they can view the video whenever they like by clicking on the link. 
 * **Public ** can be seen by anyone and is searchable/viewable on your profile.
 * **Unlisted ** can only be seen by people who have a direct link to the video and will not appear in searches.
