Upload a video bio to your NewsCloud journal

Now you can add a video bio of yourself to your NewsCloud journal so others can learn more about you. You can see my video bio here.

Here's how to upload a video bio to NewsCloud:

1. Film your video bio and upload it to YouTube.

If you have a camera on your computer, you can use YouTube Quick Capture to upload it right now. You can even set up YouTube to upload videos from your mobile phone. Otherwise, you'll need to upload your video from a file you import to your computer.

For now, we only support videos on YouTube. Please email us if you'd like us to support other platforms.

2. Sign in to NewsCloud and visit Your Account page

3. Enter the short video ID code from YouTube

YouTube videos have a link like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQJewsW0l0Y. The video ID code comes after ?v= in the URL. In this case, it's NQJewsW0l0Y. Enter this code into the Video Bio field on the NewsCloud account page and click Update basic profile.

Once your video bio has been approved, your video will appear on your journal page.
