Uploading to YouTube

I'm sorry if this is asked elsewhere, I'm not a techie by any stretch so I probably missed it.

I have created a power-point book trailor. What do I have to do/how go I get it onto YouTube? Do I have to convert? Download software?

Any help would be fabulous! Thanks guys!

ETA: ALso, for power-point, I can assign a song per slide, but is there a way to put one song for the whole show?

There are upload instructions on the YouTube website.

Thanks, but everytime I follow the instructions it says "Unable to upload. Invalid file." I've tried converting, but it gives the same message.

How big is the file? You need to have Java installed to upload files over 2gb.

After that there are too many factors...what file type are you uploading, what type of internet connection? Do you have a data cap, can you play the file on your computer.

Did you save the file as a power point file...did you check if youtube accepts those?

But the basic instructions are only for video files, as created by flipcams and stuff.

A powerpoint file is not a video file. As you may have surmised, you need to convert your powerpoint presentation into a video.

Maybe this search of powerpoint on youtube help will help:
