Upload a video via the plus icon

In the top-right of the screen on desktop (or top-left on mobile) you'll see a purple Plus icon. Clicking on that will open a menu showing different types of content you can add to your hub. Choose Upload a video to get started:

Upload a video option in drop-down under plus icon

From there, drag and drop a video file or click to browse for one. Once the video has uploaded, you'll be prompted to edit the video title and description and set the visibility settings. Upon saving, the video will be added to your library, ready to embed on a page or use in a post.

Upload a video from the Watch page

Click on the Watch icon in the explore bar (this looks like a television and appears at the top on desktop or at the bottom on mobile) and on the purple Upload a video button:
