Sharing Videos
Sharing videos is another way to enliven your posts. Google+ gives you three ways to share your videos. You can upload from your phone, share from YouTube, or upload from your Android 2.1+ smartphone. Google+ lets you upload an unlimited number of videos of up to 15 minutes each.
To share a video on Google+, follow these steps:
- Click the Home icon on the Google+ ribbon if you aren’t already on your home page (refer to Figure 6.1).
- Click in the share box to expand it (refer to Figure 6.2). Alternately, click the Share button that displays in the upper-right corner of any Google+ page to access the share box.
- Type your post in the text box. For example, you can introduce or comment on the video you’re sharing.
- Click the Add Video button in the lower-right corner of the share box. A pop-up menu opens, offering four ways to add videos (see Figure 6.13).
Figure 6.13. Google+ gives you four ways to add videos.
- Attach your video to the post by selecting one of the following menu options:
- Upload Video. Open the Upload Videos dialog box from which you can upload videos from your computer. Select the videos you want to upload and click the Add Videos button.
- YouTube. Search for YouTube videos by keyword, enter the URL of a specific YouTube video, or select from YouTube videos you’ve shared in the past. Figure 6.14 shows the Choose a YouTube Video dialog box from which you select your video.

- From Your Phone. Upload videos from your phone. You must have an iPhone or Android smartphone and download the Google+ app to use this feature.
- Record Video. Record a video from your webcam.
- Select the people or circles you want to share this post with or, optionally, make this post public. For a reminder of how to do this, refer to steps 5 through 7 in the section “Using the Share Box” earlier in this lesson.
- Click the Share button to share your post with the people you selected. Users can click the Play button in any embedded video to play it directly on Google+.
