How to Upload MOV(Quicktime) to YouTube Effortlessly

by Kayla Morrison • 2022-03-10 20:51:01 • Proven solutions

Many people capture MOV videos with their camcorders or cameras, and upload MOV files to YouTube for sharing with family and friends, but only to encounter such error: 'MOV files can't be recognized by YouTube', which officially says support MOV. What's the matter? First, let's see YouTube supported formats - YouTube fully supports MP4, AVI, WMV, MPEG, FLV, 3GP, and WebM. If your MOV file is not encoded with the video and audio codec mentioned above, it won't be accepted by YouTube. So to successfully upload MOV to YouTube, you'd better convert MOV to YouTube supported formats first. For this purpose, an easy-to-use yet powerful tool - Wondershare UniConverter, is introduced in this guide.

Part 1. Most Effective Way to Upload MOV to YouTube

Wondershare UniConverter (originally Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate) is an all-in-one video converter which can convert videos to 1000+ video and audio formats with easy steps.

In addition, as known to all, YouTube won't accept a file exceeding 10 minutes. If your MOV file is too long to upload, this app can also let you split it to the specific length easily. Next, I'll show you the whole process. It's really simple, just three steps.

  1. Load your target MOV video to MOV to YouTube converter.
  2. Select an output format that is supported by YouTube and start MOV to YouTube conversion.
  3. Upload converted MOV videos to YouTube.

How to Convert MOV to YouTube Supported Format?

Step 1 Add MOV files to this MOV to YouTube converter.

Launch Wondershare UniConverter after the installation and go to the Converter section. To add MOV to this MOV to YouTube converter, you can either hit the Add Files button in the upper left-hand corner or directly drag and drop the MOV file into the software window.

Step 2 Choose a directly optimized preset for YouTube.

This smart app directly offers users an optimized format for YouTube. You just need to click the drop-down button and choose the Web Video tab from the opened format list, then click the YouTube from the left sidebar and select the video resolution on the right. You can also choose the output format in batch by clicking the button next to the Output Format option in the bottom-left corner.

Part 2. Free Solution to Upload MOV to YouTube

If you want to find a free solution to convert and upload MOV to YouTube, you can take advantage of the online free video converter Online UniConverter (originally Media.io) to get the work done. This online converter also allows you to select the YouTube format for conversion, but note that this free online converter is extremely time-consuming as it relies on your network speed. You can also make simple editing features with Online UniConverter (originally Media.io), but just trimming, cropping, rotating, and adjusting brightness. If you have only several small-sized MOV videos to upload to YouTube, then you can try Online UniConverter (originally Media.io) on your PC/Mac.

Part 3. External Knowledge for MOV Video Sharing

Note: If your MOV or FLV file is too large to upload to YouTube, you can split it to the specific length (not more than 10 minutes). So you just need to trim the video and only get the video clip you need.

1. Click the Trim button (the left one) under the video thumbnail.
