YouTube Video Options
Once you have entered your video information, select your video quality
and YouTube categories. You'll also have the option to tag your video.
Tags are individual keywords that are used to search for your video on
YouTube. These can be words that describe what your video is about. Tags
and categories can always be changed later on the YouTube website. The
Category is just the broad group that your video might fit into. If you’re
making something for your family it would go into “Film & Animation”.

YouTube has 5 basic Quality levels that cover everything from standard
web-quality video, to 4K HD: 360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p and 2160p (4K).
There are also two additional HD options: 1080p60 and 720p60. These two
options double the framerate of your video to 60 frames per second, which
gives you much smoother playback –especially when there’s a lot of motion
in your shows (it also increases file size and upload time). In most cases,
720p or 1080p will do just fine.

You may find that you need to select a lower quality version for a few
reasons: slow Internet connection speed, length of show, or show file size.
Remember that your account may have size limits. If your show is long and
you select the best quality option, it’s very likely that the show will be too
big and YouTube will prevent the upload. Keep your show length in mind
when you make your choice.
