Share YouTube Videos on Facebook, Twitter and Google Reader

As we learned in kindergarten, sharing is good. We want you to be able to do more of it with your videos. With a simple one-time log-in on our upload page, you can now have your YouTube account automatically update your Facebook friends, Twitter followers, and Google Reader shared items when you upload a video.



If you change your mind, you can shut it off at any time. And of course, for those videos that you'd rather not share, mark them as private and they won't be sent to any other site. We hope this makes it easier to share your good times with your friends.



Cheers,

Brian Glick

Product Manager

EVERY HEARD OF OPACITY and TRANSPARANCY. ????

WHAT DESIGNER CAN ACTUALLY CREATE THIS CRAP???

bigbangandaal said...

5daycashmachine said...

I don't see why anyone should have a problem sharing their videos this way.
Great idea.

whicketywack said...

Will facebook still get me views if I share my video there?

Derkir Sto, I have the same problem with Facebook. I don't think Youtube has anyway around that though...I think this is problem for Facebook tech support to clear

You must read "The Music City Madman" by Stephen J. Hill. You can buy it on www.lulu.com

Posting to multiple Facebook and Twitter acounts would be most welcomed and would add usability.

WellIAMScottish said...

Your homepage advertisements are becoming increasingly offensive. Blasting advertisements about women being tortured in horror films at me is NOT OKAY!!!! Have some fucking respect for the women and the victims of abuse and do not force these types of advertisements upon people. Shame on you for thinking money is more important than people!

Good features for those that have all this stuff :-)

DoggySpew said...

Censorship has reached stupendous levels. The DMCA´s are misused to censor videos that people that oppose to. The Discovery Instute is a great offender of this, and will be sued over this.

Youtube has a policy of `Take it down first, ask questions later`. Alot of bogus claims are mindlessly taken over, without even checking if these claims are legal or correct (Filing a false DMCA complaint is against US law ).

Since this blog is the only way to directly communicate with Youtube (Due to their horrendous customerservice (which is practically non-existent)) I hope Youtube start listening. They've been taken over by Google, a company that has the tagline "Don't be evil". This I find highly ironic, seeing the idiotic censorship practises of Youtube (albeit maybe unintentional)

Jet1972t said...

great speaker you make your audience always laugh.....

ProRunningTips said...

This makes my life a whole lot easier and more convenient, thanks to the visionaries at YouTube. I especially like Google Reader.

harr77 said...

Why has Kevin Crafts account been suspended by google. When he is very positive and does nothing to offend anyone but a racist like the Amazing Atheist is allowed to flourish and is featured on a regular basis.

mrbuggle said...

Why are videos from Iran coming down?

ohayerinj said...

I'm completed stunned by YouTube censorship of Iranian election protest videos. WHY are you pulling these down!? #youtubeFAIL

MarathonTips said...

Social media is the wave of the future, and the wave of the present, apparently!

Flint2007 said...

I like how I can share using my Twitter. :D

ForeverCharmedX said...

This is an awesome idea! I seriously need to share my youtube vdeos with my twitter, and facebook so im all for this! check out my videos!!

jtareb said...

why are you taking down videos from Iran? You are the only outlet the iranian people have to expose the tragedy underway there. Your act of moral cowardice is despicable

GaeriSummer said...

Hello YouTube!
Is there a reason partner channels can't use the new function while regular channels can?

When I first joined Facebook, I was able to post videos and songs from Youtube and they would show up on my friends home pages, they wont post there any more, only on my profile, How can I fix it?

andgy83me said...

Sorry this is not connected with the post but I didn't manage to send youtube this message in another way. The 502 error appears pretty often. Please let us know what is the problem and when it will be solved.

Bebe12345Lily said...

Hello everyone,

Let me introduce you abit about our hotel, named Lotus Lodge. Please come and enjoy staying at your second home in Siem Reap (Angkor Wat area), Cambodia
www.lotuslodgecambodia.com

This Brand new spacious lodge is located at the outside of Siem Reap between the local cottages and farms. Far away from all the big hotels it offers an oasis of rest. An excellent place for a well deserved rest after visiting the temples of Angkor Wat. Downtown is easy accessible within 10-12 minutes by bicycle. Angkor Wat is also easily reachable and can even be spotted from the water tower.
The cheapest bungalows offer the least luxury; cold water and fan, whilst the most expensive ones cable-tv, fridge, safe, hot water, DVD player, DVD movies and air-conditioning offer. Breakfast is for most bungalows included. Besides these comfortable bungalows this complex offers as well several facilities like a huge parking place, playground, indoor shop, internet corner and a 10 meter high water tower which overlooks the whole surrounding. An absolute attraction for this flourishing complex is the swimming pool with pool bar. Lotus Lodge ideals for all kind of visitors and families. The ‘open’ restaurant, which offers a good variety of western and Khmer food for breakfast, lunch and dinner, guarantees also a pleasant stay.

contact us at: info@lotuslodgecambodia.com

Thank you very much,
Lotus Lodge

Ik kan geen video meer upladen

I will recommend using Email Charger for all bulk email marketing needs. Its the best bulk email marketing software I have used so far.

SSJKid97 said...

Youtube, I have a very serious question. If you have the answer please send a message to SSJKid97. Why was my video Dragon Ball Z Numb by Linkin Park removed? I also wrote a disclaimer about the video. I used Audio Swap and I couldn't find Numb by Linkin Park. I also feel this is a BIT unfair because another Numb DBZ Linkin Park video stayed on youtube and it had the same disclaimer as mine? Can you please add Numb by Linkin Park? Or accept my disclaimer? PLLZZ RSPND!!

dirtpro21 said...

can you get me more populare on youtube

Shreddinco said...

Where is this funny audio preview button? :-(
I really loved YouTube and visited it 5-6 times a day (and often even more just because of this funny button) :D
Please bring it back!!! Please...
it made us all laugh so hard. We spent hours on "playing" with this funny robotic man

BRIDEofAVDJ said...

hi, YouTube. I just wanted to say that the new uploader is great. I love the fact that you can know exactly how long your video upload will take. That has been a long time in the making, I am sure, but it certainly helps a lot. Great innovations, once again.

Quadunit404 said...

Get rid of the animated logo and fix the servers. The animated logo is distracting and the near-broken servers are fustrating.

dctcool said...

That feature isn't available for the Partner uploader, will it be available on that soon? cause that would be such a timesaver

r0d0tub3 said...

A la empresa: Me parece poco etico de su parte atender las peticiones del Partido Acción Nacional, PAN a no promover los videos del períodico El Universal. Si se van a bajar los pantalones cada vez que la PANdemia o el pelele de presidente se los soliciten, me queda claro que son parte de la corrupción que permea a ese partido.

TackyRackyComixNEO said...

After regaining consciousness, I read this, and I think I like this idea, though.

the80ees said...

what the hell's up with youtube lately? it's damn slow and error filled

mahalodotcom said...

eh? where? don't see it

GroverKent said...

Why do people act like MySpace doesn't exist anymore?

And YouTube? Seriously, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FIX THE BUGS AND GLITCHES YOU'VE CREATED FROM ALL OF YOUR UN-NECESSARY UPDATES?!

meecha29 said...

Hey Brian Is there a way i can get permision to record a song from a video? thanks

TackyRackyComixNEO said...

I'm sorry, but after the first sentence ("As we learned in kindergarten, sharing is good."), I couldn't continue. I nearly suffocated in my attempts to suppress my laughter from how condescending it sounds (even if you didn't mean it that way and even if it is true).

Could really do WITHOUT seeing Corporate ads , like Mc Donalds, on the YOU TUBE WEB SITE,, Enough is Enough - kick them off of here !!!

when i connect to twitter, it sent to sign up on google.

why is that?

matiasmarecos said...

nice channels

autoinsurancequotes1 said...

Thats a nice new feature. Sharing is all what social media is all about

ig2nacho said...

That's what she said

thedailyenglishshow said...

I linked it up ... but it hasn't updated my Twitter yet. Time lag?

yugota said...

Okay, I set this up, and my videos are not showing up on my facebook account at all. What did I do wrong?

Kc0219 said...

It pisses me off that ever time i went to use youtube it said there is a server error. everything else Facebook, etc.. i have no problem with. what gives

WiiloveitTV said...

I used this last night with my twitter account, and whilst I really like the idea, it would be nice if you gave the option to change exactly what the message says, rather than just: "I uploaded a YouTube video -- "Trailer name" "link"".

funnytrance said...

ooh nice..........

Nitrokid217 said...

OH WTF after I entered my comment my whole computer turned into chinese!!!! I can't understand a single thing it says! RACISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE SO RACIST

MrAce1223 said...

No thanks. I rather share YouTube Videos on My Space.

Nitrokid217 said...

How do I link my account?

meecha29 said...

hello how is you afternoon? if i can get permission to download videos with real player may i plz do it? i will not sell them to anyone. thanks

NeuroWhoa said...

It worked for me just now. Maybe the change is being slowly rolled out across the board.

masparasol said...

Guys, I know this is off topic, but I liked the old static youtube logo better. I couldn't find where else to send this feedback in.

Thanks for all you do.

thenaturaloftrance said...

ooh yeah.............

ptay89 said...

neat

balawler said...

You make it clear that videos marked as 'private' do not get shared - great. Please clarify if the video is reset to 'public' later, will it get shared to Twitter, Facebook, etc. Thanks! This is a great service!

Jacklin1004 said...

Interested in online video editing tool? So you can cut or paste online video in a specific web site? Please visit www.enjsoft.com. Video Editing is very useful for anyone to upload video like Youtube.

divmal said...

Brian, thanks for the info. Is there also a way to get an entire channel synched with Facebook, so when a new video is uploaded there it automatically gets uploaded to FB too? Please advise...

sazmanmixer said...

what the? I cant link!! something is wrong,, plz include pics instead of written instructions..

bardobrando said...

yay

Bluwhodesign said...

While popularity is great and getting your videos out there to be seen is great for your users. It seems popularity hasn't helped you tube make any more money. Have you ever considered marketing to a more mature audience so that you tube can survive not just be more popular and circulated. I'd like to see youtube make a profit and public image seems to be it's biggest problem, myspace and face book won't help that.

ShakeMango said...

This is great! Thanks youtube!

djpneuman said...

yay synergy! right?

SoulCrushing said...

Wheres the "Link Accounts" button. It's non-existent!!

PLISKEN12 said...

youtube really needs to start rotating videos everyday so that everybody gets equal exposure. sometimes useless videos remain at the top because they posted first.

NeuroWhoa said...

Upon trying to authorise my Facebook acount, I was told that I need to connect my Google and YouTube together.

I followed the instructions to link my Google and YouTube accounts together, but no "button" shows up allowing me to connect the two. What am I doing wrong?

Or must I wait whille the facility is rolled out internationally or something, as I am in the UK?

What if you have the non-Beta version of the uploader? That does not feature Twitter and Facebook notifications?

nicklesstube said...

very nice indeed. good idea

farfromsubtle said...

I don't see an option for this on my upload page.

BryceDoesStandUp said...

Wow that's really cool!

rwmtiger said...

amen. good way to get views for video :) i test it out and it work.

captainclaptonUSB said...

Sounds smart. But the proof is always in the pudding. I'll see how it turns out.

Rocket73H said...

So how do you turn it off?

bill said...

I think video is the way to generate tons of traffic.And interconnecting the websites is a great way to go.

Johannes Cloete said...

I want to cancel autoshare with facebook
I unlinked my facebook account
Yet, whenever I favorite a video it still continues to post to my facebook profile
This is so annoying

Mike said...

Dear Glick, when are you going to fix the problem with viewcounts??
I uploaded two videos of a famous singer on August 25th, they made 303 and 306 views, then FROZE and this is the fourth day at that frozen viewcount. When will you people actually start to LISTEN to what the user wants here?
Give an answer to emails and blog posts.
My YouTube user name is mikesey1 and no reply has been received from an email I sent to the "editor" address

info said...

Can you please tell me if it is possible to automatically upload my YouTube videos to my Business FaceBook page but not have it go to my personal profile page? I can see how to connect my youtube videos to personal profile page but not to my business page?? Thanks for any direction you can provide!

michael said...

This is awesome..

Janell said...

How do I turn it off other than making the video private?

Shirl said...

HI, what I did on my business page was this: copy the url for the video, go to your business page and in the status box, where it saysvideo, links etc. click on link, paste the url. and that was it. worked for me, hop I explained it well. shirl www.wickedred.com
