I’m getting an error that says I exceeded my quota when uploading to YouTube

There is a slight chance that Explain Everything service will exceed its YouTube quota. This can happen if there is an exceptionally large amount of uploads to YouTube made from Explain Everything apps across the world. In the unlikely event this does happen, you can still use the YouTube app to upload your Explain Everything videos.

Note Before you do this, please make sure you have the YouTube app installed on your device.

Upload your Explain Everything video via YouTube app

  1. While in the project, select the  Share button.
  2. Select  Export.
  3. Choose  Video.
  4. Select Photos. Your video will export to your Photos app.
  5. Open the YouTube app on your device and sign in to your account.
  6. At the bottom of the YouTube app, select the plus (+) icon.
  7. Choose the video you saved in Photos and select Next.
  8. Add a title, description, and choose the privacy settings. When you’re ready, select Next.
  9. Determine if your content complies with Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPRA) and set the age restriction. When you’re ready, select Upload.

The web version of Explain Everything doesn’t feature direct integration with YouTube so you won’t see the error there. See how you can download a video from a web video link on Explain Drive.
