If you have recorded a video using your mobile device and wish to upload that recording to VIUTUbe, you can do so by either uploading the video to your iCloud, Google Drive, or some other sort of file storage or transferring platform. You can then download the file to your desktop or laptop computer and follow the standard instructions for uploading media to VIUTube.
