    • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the upload process. This might include adding a title, description, and privacy settings (e.g., public, unlisted, private).

  3. Generate the Shareable Link:

    • Once the video is uploaded, navigate to the video's page or location within the service.

  3. Choose the video from your phone.
  4. Once uploaded, tap the three dots next to the video file.
  5. Select "Share."
  6. Change the access permissions (e.g., "Anyone with the link can view").
  7. Tap the link icon to copy the shareable link.
