Step 1: Create an Account or Log In

• If you don't have an account, go to the BitChute homepage and click on "Sign Up." Follow the prompts to register.
• If you already have an account, log in using your credentials.

Step 2: Navigate to the Upload Page

Once logged in, locate the upload icon, which typically looks like a camera or an arrow pointing up, usually found in the top right corner of the screen. Click on this icon to start the upload process.
 

Step 3: Prepare Your Video

• Format: BitChute accepts several video formats including '.mov', '.mp4', '.avi', '.wmv', '.3gp', '.ogg', '.webm', '.mkv', and '.m4v'. The preferred aspect ratio is 16:9, but other sizes are accepted.
• File Name: Avoid using special characters in your file name, title, or description as they can cause upload issues.
• Size: If possible, optimize your video size before uploading. Smaller files upload faster and process more quickly. Members enjoy greater file sizes, resolutions and upload priority. More info here: https://www.bitchute.com/membership

Step 4: Upload Your Video

Select Video: Drag & Drop or Browse your video file 

Grab a Thumbnail: Thumbnails are mandatory and you can grab one from your video or upload a customized one.

• Title: Enter a title for your video (up to 100 characters).
• Description (up to 3000 characters, 5000 for members) to give context or additional information about your video.
• Content Sensitivity: Select the appropriate sensitivity setting (Pro Tip: Normal allows to reach all users on the platform).
• Search Terms: Up to three hashtags for better discoverability.
• Publish right away: If you want your video to be immediately available on the platform leave this checked otherwise uncheck.
• Proceed: Confirm and complete the upload process.
  

Step 6: Post-upload Settings

To access your video settings after uploading click the Edit button below the video on New BitChute or the Settings button on Old

• Category: Choose or set a category for your video to help categorize it on the platform.
• Discussion: Decide if you want to enable comments on your video.
• Check Visibility: Set video to public if you want it visible to everyone, or adjust visibility as needed.
• Promote Your Video: Share the link on social media, forums, or wherever your audience might be to increase views.

Step 7: Troubleshooting Common Issues

• Upload Stuck: Try clearing your browser's cache, ensuring cookies are enabled, or check if browser plugins are interfering.
• Processing Time: If your video remains in processing for an unusually long time, consider re-uploading or optimizing the file size.
• Special Characters: If the upload fails after reaching 100%, check for and remove any special characters from the file name, title, or description.
