  2. click on upload on the upper right-hand corner.
  3. click on browse to browse to where the video is saved on your computer. read the information under the filename field regarding file size and other important information about uploading videos.
  4. click on ok.
  5. your video will then start uploading. while it is uploading, you can add the information about the video (i.e. title, description, and the privacy settings)
  6. be patient, depending on the size of your video and you connection speed, it may take a little while for the video to upload.
  7. you will then have you edit video window appear, where you can tag anyone that is in the video and choose which thumbnail from the video that you want shown.
  8. then simply click on done. the thumbnail that you choose for your video will now show on your wall and your friends homepage, they can click on the thumbnail to view the whole video.
