How to Upload Sermon Audio to YouTube (with Pictures)

I'll show you how to upload sermon recordings to YouTube in 5 minutes. I know that many pastors record their sermons and put the audio on their church website. By uploading the same sermon audio files to YouTube, thousands more people will be able to listen to them. I'll use a tool called Audioship which lets anyone upload audio recordings to YouTube or Facebook. Audioship offers 1 hour of upload time every month for free. There's also paid plans offering more upload time. At the end of this tutorial, you'll have a video on YouTube with the audio of your sermon and an image of your choice as background.

Visit Audioship.io to upload your sermon to Youtube. Before doing that, make sure you have located your sermon audio files. At the homepage, click on "CHOOSE AUDIO FILES TO START"

Locate and select you sermon files within your computer. You may also select multiple files. Any format is supported. MP3, WAVE, FLAC or OGG. Your recording will be uploaded without losing quality.

In the following prompt, click on "Sign in with Google". This will create your Audioship account. This is free.

In the Google dialog, select your Google account.

Back to Audioship, click on "ADD YOUTUBE ACCOUNT" at the top left to link your YouTube account. Since you want to put sermons online, make sure this YouTube channel is well prepared with cover photos and descriptions.

In the following dialog from Google, just click Allow. This allows Audioship to post the video to your YouTube channel.

Make sure you select your YouTube account at the top left of the screen. If your channel is not enabled for uploads more than 15 mins, you'll see a warning. This is easy to fix on YouTube. See instructions here.

Click on the image area to select a new image for your video. You can pick one of the existing images provided or upload your own.

Click on "UPLOAD IMAGE", locate your image file and select it. Then click on "Save image" to apply changes.

You now can edit the title, description, privacy settings and tags of your sermon video. You can include the date of your sermon in the description.

Click on "POST ALL VIDEOS TO YOUTUBE". If your sermon is over 1 hour long, you would need to purchase more upload time (see pricing options). There's one-off plans as well as subscriptions. Subscriptions work better for frequent uploads like sermons and you can cancel anytime.

Depending on how long was the sermon you uploaded, this might take some time (couple of mins for 1hr of audio). After the video is ready, you'll see a YouTube URL. Click on that URL and you'll be take to YouTube. You might need to wait a bit more time until YouTube prepares your video. To edit your sermon video details, like title for example, you now have to use YouTube video editor (see instructions here).

Hope this was useful to all pastors out there. Thanks
