Create slideshows with YouTube

YouTube slideshow feature is easy to use, suitable for users who only need a simple application without installation.

The online video sharing site YouTube has just added new features, allowing users to create simple slideshows with just a few clicks.

To use it, users first need to log in to the service as when downloading a video on this page. When successfully logged in, to start creating a new slideshow completely, click the Upload button (usually located next to YouTube's search bar). In this new video download interface, click the Create button below the "Photo Slideshow" section.

By default, YouTube supports users to directly embed image data available on Google Picasa online photo albums. However, you can still select the " Upload photo " option (as shown below) to easily download images on your computer.

Once you choose to download photos directly from your computer, a dialog box will appear by default to find and browse the folders containing images on your computer. After selecting the desired images to upload, a dialog box informs the process of uploading data to Google's servers. Simply stated, when users create a new slideshow from their computer images, YouTube will automatically upload these images to their own Picasa photo album online.

After completing the process of uploading data to Google servers, users will immediately see an interface containing the selected images uploaded. At this point, you can arrange the desired order in the slide show by moving the image to the desired position. To move to the next step, click Next right below this interface.

When the upload process is successful, users can rename their slideshow. By default, the created slideshow will be added to the Uploads section of the Video Manager section of the service.
