5. Post to YouTube

  1. Review selected channels, plan limits, background, metadata, and privacy.
  2. Select Post all to YouTube.
  3. Free videos show a Before you post dialog because free uploads include an Audioship watermark. Choose Post with watermark or Upgrade.
  4. Keep the tab open while Audioship queues, prepares audio, creates video, and sends it to YouTube.
  5. When YouTube accepts the upload, Audioship shows the YouTube URL and an Edit video action.

YouTube may still need time to process the video after Audioship receives the URL. If playback is not ready immediately, wait and refresh the YouTube page.
