In this guide, I’ll walk you through the steps to create a link for your QuickTime video, ensuring that it’s easily accessible to anyone you want to share it with.

Choosing the Right Platform

Before you can create a link for your QuickTime video, you need to decide where you want to host it. There are several platforms you can choose from, each with its own set of features and benefits.

Once you’ve chosen a platform, you can proceed to upload your QuickTime video and create a shareable link.

Most video hosting platforms offer a simple upload process. Here’s how to upload your QuickTime video to YouTube as an example:

1. Go to YouTube and sign in to your account.
2. Click on the “Upload” button at the top right corner of the page.
3. Browse for your QuickTime video file and select it.
4. Wait for the video to upload. The time it takes will depend on the size and quality of your video.

Once your video is uploaded, you can proceed to create a shareable link.
