HubPages Videos - What To Do About Yours

Converting Your Video Hubs

Many of you may remember our recent announcement about the imminent retirement of HubPages hosted Video Hubs. Today I'm pleased to bring you some further details. For those of you with Video Hubs, you can now convert them into normal Hubs by following these steps:

• Just open a Video Hub in the HubTool and click on the "convert to normal Hub" button. This will change the URL of your Hub from /video/ to /hub/ and allow you to remove a HubPages-hosted Video from your Hub. Don't worry, your traffic will be redirected to the new URL.
• Once you convert your Hub, you will have the ability to download your Video as an mp4 file and remove it from your Hub, just like with other Capsules. The download and remove buttons will be visible on your Hub only while viewing it in the HubTool.
• You can also download your Video before converting your Hub by visiting My Account > Videos > Your Videos. This is the best option if you plan to delete your Video Hubs completely rather than convert them to normal Hubs.

Uploading Your HubPages Videos to YouTube

We suspect that once you've converted your Video Hubs to normal Hubs, most of you will want to add your videos back to your Hubs. Here's how to upload your videos to YouTube so that you can add them in a Video Capsule:

1. Convert the Hub to a normal Hub in the HubTool by clicking on the "convert to normal Hub" button.
2. Download your Video if you don't already have a backup copy.
3. Create a YouTube account if you don't already have one. Tip: a YouTube account is linked to a Google Account. If you already have a Google Account, skip this step and go directly to the YouTube Homepage while logged in.
4. While logged into YouTube, click on the grey upload button located at the top right corner of the screen.
5. Upload your HubPages Video to YouTube. Make sure to mark the YouTube video as "Public" so that it can be displayed on your Hub.
6. When the upload is finished, grab a link to your YouTube video and navigate back to your Hub in the HubTool.
7. First, delete your HubPages-hosted Video by clicking on the "x" next to it. Next, add a Video Capsule and embed your YouTube-hosted video. For instructions on how to use the Video Capsule, please read this Learning Center entry.
8. When you're all done, make sure your YouTube video works on your Hub by viewing the Hub at its live URL.
