Do not allow someone to record you on YouTube

YouTube, an American social media platform and video sharing site, was launched in February 2005 by Jawed Karim and Steve Chen. Since then, YouTube has been one of most visited and rapidly growing web sites. The site now has over one hundred fifty million visitors per day and is known as an expert in video creation. The site is completely free and easy to use. Here are my top YouTube tips.

You should be careful about comments on YouTube. Google recently started to block comments from YouTube videos. Although not all comments are likely to be removed, it is a good idea to avoid getting irritated by Google if someone posted something they weren't supposed to. Talkatively, a search engine for finding other channels without blocking comments is available. Be careful not to spam YouTube.

When using YouTube, do not post any personal information on your channel. YouTube and social media sites like it are primarily used to share content and videos with other people. You should not publish any private information. If you are worried about the privacy of your videos, then you can always use a pay-per-view social media site instead.

You should be careful about how your videos are uploaded. You may be unaware of the quality of comments posted to your video by others. You can look at the usernames of people who leave negative comments. Try to avoid using the same username and description ID for different social media accounts. By doing this, you can ensure your uniqueness and that no one else uses youtube.

It is crucial that YouTube videos with sensitive or personal information are not posted. You should not upload videos where the individual's name appears. Use a screenname that is different from the name of the person instead. If the password protects the folder, you can encrypt it to stop anyone from opening it.

Videos that are not your own should be removed. This includes videos that promote products and websites. It is possible to share even free videos on the Internet. This means someone can take your video and upload it on YouTube or other websites without you paying them. Your business is difficult enough without hackers trying to infiltrate it. However, it can be even harder if the system you have is compromised. By making your videos private or requiring members to sign up to your membership site before they can post a video, you'll make it much harder for a would-be hacker to get at your information.

You should also be cautious about the kind of comments you make to other members. Do not comment if you're not certain that the comments are legally allowed. Also, never share the videos you upload on YouTube with other people. Unless you're promoting your business using the videos, don't share the links to them on anything else either. If you do have someone spot a mistake on your videos, correct it, and then get rid of the link to the original post. A thief will send you an email asking for money.

It is easy to protect your YouTube account against the misuse of YouTube's automated tools. Just be aware of what you are doing when you are signing up for new accounts. Register with your real name so that it appears on any comments and posts as well as in all photos. Never use nicknames, initials, or other nicknames. These could be used to leverage against your identity. You will feel more secure when you are away from your computer if you make your identity public.
