How to UPLOAD HD/4K VIDEOS on to YOUTUBE in 2021 | a Step-by-Step YouTube Video Upload Guide

Today we UPLOAD a (HD/4K) VIDEO to KZread, and show how I personally upload my HD / 4K videos on KZread in 2021 to keep the highest quality! Then I also show you my uploading hacks, to make sure that you can Upload your Videos as Fast as Possible!
LOADING A VIDEO TO KZread is intimidating, you want your KZread UPLOAD to look HD 4K, as high quality of a KZread video as possible because of the effort you put into making it. Uploading your video to youtube should be the easy part of the process, but there are a lot of small aspects to pay attention to, that could make or break your video and most other videos on HOW TO UPLOAD A KZread VIDEO don’t give it justice.
SO, let me give you all of my personal tips and tricks that I use when I upload and stick to the end if you want to know how to upload your videos faster.

-------------------- WAYS TO UPLOAD / POST YOUR VIDEO --------------------
PRIVATE -
Nobody can see the video unless logged into YOUR Gmail
UNLISTED -
Anyone with the link can watch the video.
PUBLIC -
Anyone who finds the video can watch the video.
SCHEDULE -
Upload, and have KZread Automatically POST your video at a selected time, on a selected date.
PREMIERE -
Scheduling a time for your video to go “Live”. An interactive way to upload your video while chatting with your subscribers AND viewership.
-------------- REMEMBER --------------
KZread takes time to process your uploaded video.
Even though it says complete, it will actually be PROCESSING it.
So, if you were to PUBLISH as soon as you upload - it could be in 360p, 720p OR HD.
A lot of creators make this mistake, they think that the video uploaded wrong, but it’s actually just processing!

    BULLSHIT. I've uploaded 4K videos for about two years now, and never had to wait more than 48 hours for the 4k option to show up- the last video I uploaded used all the SAME hardware and settings to encode the video, two very similar videos=both were 9 and 1/2 minutes in length and same file size uploaded. KZread has done something that messed with the 4K play option in the player. NONE of my computers or devices had the 4K option with the latest video I uploaded, even after 3 days! and the editor mode showed the SD, HD, and 4K processing had all completed!

    A golden tip is to schedule your video for the next day. That way you give your video plenty of time to finish processing all the different qualities. Also if anyone has a video that is stuck on only SD then you may need to reupload it. I've just had this issue today and had to reupload it because it was bugged and YT didn't recognise it was a 4k video. So now I reupload it properly processed the video to true 4K

    @@Kieoryy instead of clicking "Publish Now" or "Public" you click on visibility and click on "Schedule". Set the date to tomorrow and the time you wish to upload to but another great tip for this is to look into your analytics and see when most of your viewers are online and upload at that time. So for example when I upload a 4K video I would Schedule it to tomorrow 27th December at 14:00 and wait until the next day for it to automatically publish your video to public
