I can't drag and drop onto YouTube, and when I export the videos out of Photos onto my desktop, it converts them from 1080 to 720, so I can't do that...
If I click on the Photos icon while searching for files to upload while in the YouTube platform, it doesn't open them, or it basically locks down the browser (chrome) to where I have to force quit.
Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
You can upload into YouTube without having to export first. Just do the following:
1 - in YouTube click on the Select Files to Upload button.
2 - in the next window scroll down to the Media button, click, on Photos and find your Video files under the Photos Library on the right:
It's curious that there is no YouTube share extension for Photos. Furthermore, there seems to be little commentary about this lack.
EDIT/SOLULTION: Ok, dragging and dropping the 1080 or duplicating changes to 720. There is an option under file called export, and I was able to export the "unchanged" file to the desktop. Wish I could just upload to YouTube from inside the Photo app, though!
Here is a nice app.where u can upload from share future: https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/video-uploader-for-youtube/id1111155003
WOW!! Fantastic Application. This is an great solution.🙂
Excellent tip from Old Toad as usual. Thank you!
Extensions are generated by third parties and sold in the App store
If there is a great need then you should write one and make money from it
And although I do not upload to YouTube often at all I believe you can upload using the media browser - in the upload window in Safari toward the botton=m of the source pane on the left under media ==> photos ==> Photos

I was trying to figure this out too. I know that if you have the videos on your iPhone, you can upload them right to YouTube using the YouTube app, or the YouTube Capture app (which lets you add join multiple videos into one video). But on a MacBook, the best you can do is import the video into iMovie and then export from that to YouTube. I, too, wish you could just export from Photos to YouTube. There's the option to do that to Vimeo and Facebook - So why not YouTube?
Thanks, that works. Still, slower than if there were a share button. 🙂
As iMovie can see the Photos Library, you can also use the Share menu in iMovie to upload your videos from Photos to YouTube. And add titles and a soundtrack, while you are about.
How do I upload to YouTube from Photos for Mac?
