But if we want to upload our own recordings, music, songs, YouTube will remind us that such files can not be uploaded. This is because YouTube does not support direct uploading of audio files such as MP3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how can you upload an audio file to YouTube?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The solution is to convert the audio file into a YouTube supported video file and then upload it. So that you can upload your favorite audio file to YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here we introduce three ways to convert audio files into video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Convert audio to video via video editing software<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>YouTube only supports video formats like MP4, <a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/best-video-format-for-youtube.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the supported formats can be viewed here<\/a>. If you want to upload audio files to YouTube, you need to convert them into these video formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Converting audio to a video can be easily done using YouTube video editing software, such as YouTube Movie Maker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step is to download the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube Movie Maker<\/a>, which you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/youtubemoviemaker\/version\/youtubemoviemaker.exe\">download here<\/a> and install.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 2, open the software, click the &#8220;red plus&#8221; button in the interface. Then select &#8220;add audio&#8221;, and add the audio file to the software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1130\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/upload-audio-to-youtube13.png\" alt=\" &quot;red plus&quot; button in the YouTube Movie Maker\" class=\"wp-image-939\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/upload-audio-to-youtube13.png 1130w, https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/upload-audio-to-youtube13-768x442.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1130px) 100vw, 1130px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1125\" height=\"642\" src=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/upload-audio-to-youtube11.png\" alt=\"add audio\" class=\"wp-image-940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/upload-audio-to-youtube11.png 1125w, https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/upload-audio-to-youtube11-768x438.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1125px) 100vw, 1125px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 3, right-click the audio in the upper-left window and select &#8220;add select to &gt; Add 0 line&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1123\" height=\"643\" src=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/upload-audio-to-youtube12.png\" alt=\"add audio to line\" class=\"wp-image-941\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/upload-audio-to-youtube12.png 1123w, https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/upload-audio-to-youtube12-768x440.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1123px) 100vw, 1123px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/upload-audio-to-youtube4.png\" alt=\"add audio to line\" class=\"wp-image-904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/upload-audio-to-youtube4.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/upload-audio-to-youtube4-768x416.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 4, select &#8220;Movie Setting&#8221; in &#8220;Options&#8221;, select the video format you want to output.

Sometimes if the file size is small, we can also convert the audio in this type of online tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many such tools. But the disadvantage is that there are general restrictions on file size and certain requirements on the user&#8217;s network. Here we take Dovid as an example to demonstrate how to convert audio into a video supported by YouTube. It&#8217;s free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open the <a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/tovid.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Tovid website<\/a>, we can see that the operation is very simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"863\" height=\"464\" src=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/upload-audio-to-youtube9.png\" alt=\"online audio to video converter\" class=\"wp-image-910\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/upload-audio-to-youtube9.png 863w, https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/upload-audio-to-youtube9-768x413.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 863px) 100vw, 863px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One is the need to prepare a picture for the video screen, and the other is the audio file that needs to be converted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"831\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/upload-audio-to-youtube8.png\" alt=\"convert audio to video\" class=\"wp-image-909\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/upload-audio-to-youtube8.png 831w, https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/upload-audio-to-youtube8-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 831px) 100vw, 831px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Just add the image and the audio file to the appropriate area of the site. You&#8217;ll see that the download button turns green when the file is uploaded. Just click the download button to download the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The resulting video is to show the picture you uploaded all the time, and then play the audio you uploaded. You just upload the video file to YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you can also authorize the website to access your YouTube account, upload the video directly to YouTube. There is no need to download it, but it is easy to report errors and is generally not recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other sites operate similarly, uploading audio files, converting them, and then downloading the converted video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Convert audio and video through APPs<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, if your audio is on your phone, you can also use the APP to convert it. Here we use Avee Music Player as an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step, similar to desktop software, is to download the Avee Music Player from Google Play to your phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"518\" height=\"926\" src=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/upload-audio-to-youtube10-1.png\" alt=\"Convert audio and video through APP\" class=\"wp-image-912\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The second step, open the software, add the files that need to be converted to the software, then select the picture effect you like, and then generate the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the third step, we can upload the generated video to YouTube via mobile phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wrapping Up<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>YouTube Can Not Upload Audio Files, but we can upload audio files by converting them to video. It&#8217;s easy to do on your pc\/mobile\/online site. There are lots of APPS and websites that support audio conversion and uploads, just choose what you like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the world&#8217;s largest online video sharing platform, a variety of wonderful videos are uploaded to YouTube every day.
