Step 2: Post the video on the video sharing website and get the URL
After you have created the video and saved the video file on your local computer using Step 1 (above), the next step is to post your video on one of many video-sharing websites like YouTube.com, Dropbox, or Vimeo.
Set permissions for privacy:
Consider setting video permissions to Unlisted if you do not want your video to appear in the video search on the video-sharing website or if you do not want it to be found by anyone else. Do not set the video to “private” since not all reviewers will have accounts on these websites. Instead, please send us the unique link to the video. We will be the only ones able to see the video after you send the link to us.
