URL to your
YouTube video
or you’ll be searching for a while. (All
YouTube videos will pop up as options to promote.)

You have to search through all of the videos in
YouTube’s database, so entering the URL for your video will speed
up the search process.

how it will appear
to people who are watching it on
YouTube after browsing the Internet and finding it via YouTube
search.
