Uploading to Youtube

A few days ago, someone asked for assistance with uploading a class video project to YouTube. To start off, we tried uploading the video using the student's school email account. To upload to YouTube you need to have a Google account and at the time we assumed that since UD uses Google Apps for our e-mail, that you could upload a video to YouTube using your UD Google apps account.

So this would be a pretty boring blog post if this video project was actually uploaded like expected. You guessed it, you can't upload a video to YouTube using your Google Apps account! The solution to this is quite simple, if a student wants to upload a video to YouTube then they either need to use an existing Google account or they need to make an account on YouTube when they go to upload the video.
