Hi Friends!
I'm sure most of you saw the big 
I thought it might be helpful to make a quick video tutorial showing how to both claim your new account - and upload a
Claim Your Account - Just Do it. Even if you Don't Make Video Content
Even steemians who don't make video content may want to consider jumping in to claim their account. Dtube is giving Steemians a month to claim their username, but after that point - it is fair game. This means someone could grab your username and start posting videos - which could become really confusing for your Steem followers!

Why have two upload options?
IPFS servers allow for a truly decentralized video experience - which is fantastic for video creators that are being censored, demonitized, deplatformed - or just people that really want that. IPFS upload times can be slow, sometimes have playback issues, and is costly to Dtube to host.
If you are a creator that doesn't really care if your video is hosted on Youtube or not - then give it a try! It will save you upload times and will save Dtube storage costs - not to mention make upload wait times shorter for those who are using the IPFS functionality.
Now the big question I had was... will the Dtube team only be curating content that was uploaded, or will they curate content that was from a link as well? After reading through the comments on their announcement post, it is clear that they are curating both and are mainly looking for original content - just as they have always done.
Questions?
I hope those of you who have yet to jump in and claim your Dtube account found this helpful!! This video is a complete screen share where I walk you through every step of the process.
If you have any questions at all - please drop them below and I'll do my best to help you out!
