--------------------------------------...
QuickCapture is a way to record video directly into YouTube. You need to have a webcam or camcorder attached to your computer and a confirmed email address to use this feature. To record and upload video using QuickCapture:

1. Log in to YouTube. Make sure your camera is attached to the computer and working.
2. Go to the "Quick Capture" page (http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_quick_c...
3. Enter the information about your video in the left column. This is required before you begin recording.
4. If you get a message that says "www.youtube.com is requesting access to your camera and microphone," click the "Allow" button.
5. If you don't see a picture in the record section, you may need to choose a different video source from the video dropdown in the "Record Video" window.
6. Once you see a picture coming from your camera, click the "Record" button to start recording your video.
7. When you're finished recording, click the "Done" button if you're satisfied with your video, or click the "Re-Record" button if you'd like to try recording it again.

When you click the "Done" button, your video is automatically uploaded to YouTube and starts processing. You can edit information about the video by going to the "My Videos" page (http://www.youtube.com/my_videos).

If you're having trouble using QuickCapture, you may want to make sure any firewall software you may have is allowing the connection to our server. If you're on a corporate or school network the connection may be blocked. You might want to check with your network administrator to find out what restrictions your network's under.
