- We’ve created an “Upload Videos to YouTube” option on the Google Video status page. To do this, you’ll need to have a YouTube account associated with your Google Video account (you can create one here). Before doing this you should read YouTube’s Terms of Use and Copyright Policies. If you choose this option, we’ll do our best to ensure your existing Google Video links continue to function.
If you’d prefer to download your videos from Google Video, that option is still available.
As we
said nearly two years ago, the team is now focused on tackling the tough challenge of video search. We want to thank the millions of people around the world who have taken the time to create and share videos on Google Video. We hope today's improvements will help ease your transition to another video hosting service.

I received the email that you would be removing Google Videos soon, and I'm glad to hear that you are going to give us a bit longer to migrate. Right now I do not see the Upload Videos to YouTube button. Is it being rolled out slowly only to certain users? I have a YouTube account connected to my Google account. Thank you for any further information...
ReplyDeleteYes. It is the greatest day ever.
ReplyDeleteYou've renewed my faith in Google! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThat's NICE! I'll try migrating my old, old vids to youtube
ReplyDeleteDear Youtube, I wanna post here since there is no way to contact Google Video witch which I have a problem. I have a difficulty downloading a video and it is my only copy, so it would be really nice if someone could help me get to my video before everything is deleted. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks YouTube. I so love you guys now! I really didn't think you were going to listen. This is great!
ReplyDeleteDo all stats carry over to Youtube, including upload date?
ReplyDeleteit is good to know that one can migrate video.
ReplyDeleteI would like to know what happens if you have since uploaded the same video to YouTube with the very same title?
ReplyDeleteI don't want an old inferior duplicate version on YouTube - but can no longer access my Google Video Account......
Google videos didn't have the 15min video length restriction that Youtube has, how can we migrate those long videos currently on Google video over to Youtube?
ReplyDeleteI very much approve of Google's decision :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing this, although I wonder this wasn't done in the first place.
ReplyDeleteHere's an additional peeve ... when I did the transfer, the upload date is today (when it was transferred) rather than the original (Google video) upload date. Since my videos are mostly chronologically arranged vignettes of my children growing up, I'd appreciate it if you could have the original upload date.

The Star Wars Holiday Special is saved!
ReplyDeleteOn a more serious note, the Black Mage's grand finale of Dancing Mad is also saved.

ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing what your team will end up with in regards to this!
I am glad youtube is making videos easier to migrate now.
ReplyDeleteI have a GV and a YT account, but the migrate option button does not appear for me.
ReplyDeleteOnce it does I hope YT will accept videos from GV longer than 15 min, otherwise I dont see the point.
It is great Google took this decision. But I think it is a scandal so much material will dissapear from the internet once GV dissapears. Many will not make the effort of migrating their material. If Google want to shut down GV the should simply merge it inte YT, automaticaly, keeping old links so linked and embedded material stay in place. The active decision from the user should be to refuse that this automtic merge, not the way around, this would make things easier and we would assure material does not appear unless the user specifically wants it to. I hope reponsible persons from Google reads thsi and takes my views into account. Thank you.
YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! HAHA! GOOGLE IS BACK! HAHA! LONG LIVE THE GLORIOUS GOOGLE! HAHA! YES!

OK, with that said; question:
1. Like everyone's saying, can you do it for videos longer than 15 mins and not get them cut off?
2. Google Video had a very different copyright policy, what will you do about taking down google video videos like that??
I have a video posted to Google Video several years ago. The video was set to private but the google account has since been closed and now the video is available via google video search as a public video. How can I prevent a video from being transferred to youtube, and allow it to be deleted when google video goes dark? thanks for your assistance.
ReplyDeleteWhat is going to be done with the videos that are too violent or do not meet the youtube guidelines?
ReplyDeleteOur members do not matter if the GV in intergrasikan with YT. To note is the document vidio of GV in having anything after the integration. My question is how to duration adjustment is there? Who adjusts? YT or GV
