Publish video on youtube

My love/hate relationship with the computer world continues. I wish to upload and publish a video that is presently recorded on my IPad of my musical efforts. Youtube help tells me to get the youtube app. Several on the App Store. I tried the studio app since it said I can publish and edit with it.

I watched the instructional video in the help section of the youtube site. It tells me to open the app and sign in to my channel. I signed in. It tells me on the help section to click on the camera at the top of the app. No camera appears no matter what i push. I have a dashboard in the app with nothing in it. Ditto any other sub menu I try.

I am back to my usual frustration with trying to do this “easy” stuff. Maybe easy for a three year old not so much for me. Help!

BTW, I have an IPad Air 2 I running chrome.

    Clunky is a nice way to say it. I used other words. Why did they take something that was easy and intuitive and make it nearly impossible?

    Thx to all for the help

    Thanks! I looked at that app in the App Store, but the description did nt say it would upload videos. It seemed t be mainly fr watching r streaming sound. S I passed on it.

    Per your recommendation I downloaded it and finally after much more aggravating got it to upload a video. So it does work eventually once you push enough buttons. So thanks again for the help.

    I do so few videos and get so flustered every time I try, I will probably switch back to Dropbox. At least I understand it and it is easy and intuitive to use. It just has a low time (gig) limit so can’t post alt without paying.I was hoping to maybe expand the audience with you tube but as hard as it is to use maybe not.
