Getting started on YouTube

Create what you want, how you want

YouTube gives creators flexibility so that you can get started filming, sharing and finding your fandoms depending on the way you like to create.

The fastest way to get started

What can you create in 60 seconds or less? YouTube Shorts is the fun, easy way to create content for YouTube's billions of users. All you need is a mobile phone, your ideas and a little help from our tools.

Build a home for your videos

Start a new channel and start experimenting! Play around with different formats, create a hub for your fans and start building a long-term home for all your content.

Establish your voice

Before you post, think about what voice will define your channel. A good place to start is asking yourself what you're interested in, what unique story you're able to tell, and the viewers who will come along for the ride.

Customise your channel branding

What you choose for your channel name, icon banner and trailer are all what we'd call branding your channel. These decisions affect how your viewers recognise you and get to know your channel, and they're all easy to customise using our easy tools.

Get set up with a production plan

Before you press record, you'll want to have a few boxes ticked, from choosing the right equipment, to getting the lighting right and more. Choosing the right camera, microphone and even wardrobe can all make sure that filming is a success.

Make sure that your videos follow our rules

Our copyright and community guidelines exist to keep YouTube a fair and protected place for all Creators. Get familiar with these policies to make sure that what you're posting follows our rules and reaches your audience.
