Hey all, so one thing I see a lot is people (mainly new to YouTube) saying that there videos take forever to upload and process, so they're sat there waiting for it to finish before they can shutdown do other things. So I thought I would make this post to inform those who think this way.
When you start uploading, the video is being sent to the YouTubes servers and your computer (or other device if you're using a tablet or phone) will need to be turned on and connected to the internet during this time but once the video starts processing there is no longer any data for that video going from your computer to the servers meaning you're free to close down the computer or even just close the tab and move onto other things.
So basically once you see this....
...you can close everything down and move on with your day, there is no need to wait for the processing bar to compete.
NOTE: It has been suggested to wait till the processing is at at least 1% before closing anything, personally not experienced any issue closing before 1% but for safety with your own videos it may be worth that few seconds of extra wait time.
When I upload my routine is as follows, I start the upload and enter all the relevant information (tags, description, title), I then upload the thumbnail that I've made for that video, set the ads up if I want ads on the video and then press Save Changes, now this is done and looks a bit like this:
Now its just a case of waiting for the video to finish uploading and once it is I can close down the PC or close the tab.
I hope this helps someone out, as I say, I've seen a lot of channels (not just new ones) waiting for videos to finish processing before they close the PC down or close the tab.
TTYL, Peace Out and Bye Bye....Toodles
