How Much You Know About YouTube Settings?

YouTube Video Settings

Whether you are uploading your new video to YouTube, you may have noticed that there are some video settings that you can adjust to improve the uploading experience.

While uploading:

When you upload videos to YouTube, you will see this platform has a number of specific settings for the highest quality videos. You can try the following suggested encoding settings:

• MP4 file type;
• Stereo or Stereo + 5.1, 96khz or 48khz;
• 16:9 aspect ratio.

Then you need to consider video privacy. YouTube offers you three different privacy settings:

• Unlisted video;
• Private video;
• Public video.

What’re the differences among the three options? Put it simply, unlisted videos can be shared via URL or added to a channel but they are unavailable for viewing; unlisted videos are not available for viewing by anyone but the creator; public videos can be viewed by everyone and can be commented, shared, and added to channels.

If you still have some doubts about unlisted videos and private videos, you can read the post where the differences between the two options are elaborated in detail.

If you do not want to spend your time on selecting the settings during the next video upload, you can adjust the default settings for YouTube uploads.

Step 1: Click your avatar and then choose the Settings option.

Step 2: Select Channel settings and then click the Defaults option.

Step 3: Fill the information that you will likely apply to most of your uploads. After that, do not hit the Save button.
