2. Go to your My Channel page

3. If you need to upload a video, click on create a video or post (camcorder) in the upper right banner, then upload video. 

4. Change the setting to upload the video as an unlisted video and select the video from your desktop which you’d like to make an unlisted video. Click Done to confirm. Copy link and include when you submit your poster. 

If you want to edit a video you’ve already uploaded:
