Learn how to share video that is recorded on an iPhone 3Gs.

The iPhone 3Gs smartphone made by Apple for AT&T cellular is an advanced cell phone and smartphone that has the capability of recording, editing, and sharing video that is recorded on the device.

Sharing a video is crucial, because what is the fun of recording video on the go if you can't share the video quickly and easily? With the iPhone 3Gs, you can instantly share video the second you stop recording.

Once you have finished recording and editing the video on the iPhone, you will want to share the video. The first step is to tap on the review video image in the lower left hand side of the iPhone screen.

This image is a screenshot from the latest video that you have recorded and tapping on it will open up the Video Review screen. Tap the "Play" icon on this screen to view the video that you just recently recorded.

While the video is playing, tap the screen again to bring up the iPhone Share Video menu options. You will see multiple options on the screen. These options include E-Mail Video, MMS, Send to MobileMe, and Send to YouTube.

To E-Mail an iPhone video.

Tap on the E-mail option and enter the e-mail address that you want to send the video to. Click "Send" to complete the e-mail sending. Keep in mind that the person you are sending the video file to must be able to have the ability to open and play the video.

Using MMS to send video.

MMS is similar to text messaging, although instead of a text, the video is sent in a message to contacts in your iPhone's Contact book. Tap this option and select from your contact list the people who you want to receive the video. Click on "Send" to send the video file.

Sending video to MobileMe.

MobileMe is a service offered by Apple that allows users to access their computer files anywhere, anytime with a secure login account. This is like a hard drive that is accessible anywhere from any computer. It costs around $99 a year for this service and those with the service can select the MobileMe option, login to their account, and put their video into their MobileMe account for access to the video from anywhere.

Sending video to YouTube.

Video recorded on the iPhone 3Gs can be published instantly on YouTube directly from the phone. Tapping on the "Send to YouTube" option will prompt you to login to your YouTube account. Once logged in your can select "Upload Video" and your video will be available within seconds on your YouTube account. With this option, users are limited by YouTube to post only up to 10 minutes worth of video footage for a single video file.

The iPhone 3Gs allows you to record video on the go and upload and share the video right after recording it. There is no need for adapter cables or having to wait until you have access to a computer or laptop to save, share, and upload videos.
