To make your video, just set up a video camera in front of you and tell your story to it. It’s that simple. Maybe have a family member or friend work the camera for you. If you have a webcam with your computer, that will work, too. YouTube has millions of videos uploaded to their site. LivingConversations.com works very similar to YouTube. If you need some technical assistance, chances are you know someone who has uploaded a video to YouTube you can get help from!

The video doesn’t have to be long, maybe five minutes, or so. The maximum allotted time is ten minutes. If you need help uploading it to this site, click here for more detailed technical instructions.
