YouTube

YouTube is a video streaming service provided by Google in which you can upload and release a video, or offer a live streaming of an event.

If you belong to students and faculties of the University of Tokyo, you can use YouTube with your ECCS Cloud Email account. With your ECCS Cloud Email account, you can share a video of a lecture, a livestreamed ceremony and any other content only with students and faculties of the University of Tokyo.

This page describes how to upload a video and offer a live streaming and how to watch contents shared only with students, faculty and staff of the University of Tokyo. If you need to know basic procedures to use Youtube, please visit Google’s official help page.

To Upload a Video and Offer a Live Streaming

Follow the procedures below to upload a video and offer a live streaming on YouTube with your ECCS Cloud Email account. Please create your channel first and upload a video, complete video privacy settings or offer a live streaming according to your purpose.

About Your Channel and Account

To upload a video or offer a live streaming on YouTube, you need your channel linked to your account.

There are two kinds of YouTube channels: created with a personal account and created with a brand account.
