Video Responses
The video response feature lets you reply, or talk back, to a video. Someone may post a video that you want to strongly support or that you strongly oppose. Someone may post a video that asks viewers a question or wants your opinion on a certain topic. You may just want to parody a video. These are all great opportunities to post video responses.
To post a video response, click the link Post a Video Response, located just below every video.
Figure 8-1. Posting video responses is fun and easy.
You can post video responses (Figure 8-1) in one of three ways:
Record a video: If you have a webcam or your FireWire miniDV cam connected to your computer, you can record a video directly to YouTube's servers with this function. The video will be recorded in a low resolution (to conserve bandwidth and server space), but the quality will be acceptable for a simple video response. This is the most immediate and very likely the most honest way to respond to a video—in the moment.
Choose a video: If you have previously uploaded a relevant video, you can simply choose it from a drop-down list (Figure 8-2). This is also convenient for recycling relevant video responses, something I will talk about later in this chapter.
