PS4: How to upload videos to YouTube

With system update 2.0, you can upload videos directly to YouTube that you have recorded with your PS4. We show you how easy it works in our practical tip.

• First start the Share menu using the Share button on your controller. Depending on the setting, you only have to press the button once briefly or long.
• In the share menu you will see the option "Upload video clip". Select the option and the desired video clip.
• You can now choose whether you want to upload the video to Facebook or YouTube.
• After selecting the YouTube logo, you can set a title and video description. With the "Trim" button you can shorten the video and cut out certain sections. With "Preview" you can watch the video again.
• If you scroll further down, you can also make data protection settings, tag your video with different tags and share it directly on Twitter or Facebook with your friends and followers.
• Once you are happy with your settings, select "Make Available".
• Depending on whether you have already linked your YouTube account to the PlayStation 4, you will now be asked to enter your login data and to grant the PlayStation 4 the necessary rights.
• As soon as you have done everything, the video upload starts automatically in the background and the share menu closes.

If you would like to upload your video to Facebook, the steps to be carried out are almost identical. However, Facebook doesn't give you an option to insert tags. To spice up your video, you can add effects in the SHAREfactory. We will show you how the SHAREfactory works in another practical tip.
