00:00:02,978 --> 00:00:03,981
Hey everyone!

2
00:00:04,109 --> 00:00:07,472
In this video, you'll learn 
how to sign up for Amara Community,

3
00:00:07,472 --> 00:00:09,242
so that your friends and followers

4
00:00:09,242 --> 00:00:11,596
can help you subtitle
and translate your videos.

5
00:00:11,596 --> 00:00:12,683
Let's get started.

6
00:00:13,530 --> 00:00:16,146
First, you'll need to
create an Amara account.

7
00:00:16,146 --> 00:00:19,457
If you already have an account,
you can click "Go to Login".

8
00:00:19,457 --> 00:00:22,178
Otherwise, fill out the form
and create a new account.

9
00:00:22,963 --> 00:00:25,089
A confirmation email will be sent to you.

10
00:00:25,089 --> 00:00:26,707
You'll need to verify your email

11
00:00:26,707 --> 00:00:29,945
before you can use some of the features
of your Amara Community team.

12
00:00:30,916 --> 00:00:32,339
Pick a name for your team.

13
00:00:32,339 --> 00:00:35,388
It can match your YouTube channel,
or be something else entirely.

14
00:00:36,979 --> 00:00:40,783
Here, you'll choose the number of seats
and languages for your team.

15
00:00:40,783 --> 00:00:43,607
Each seat is an available space
for a team member.

16
00:00:44,195 --> 00:00:46,594
"Team languages" refers to
the number of languages

17
00:00:46,594 --> 00:00:48,950
your team members can translate
your videos into.

18
00:00:48,950 --> 00:00:52,249
If you're not sure about what you'll need,
start with a small number.

19
00:00:52,249 --> 00:00:54,113
You can always upgrade your plan later.

20
00:00:55,782 --> 00:00:57,940
Next, you'll be taken to the payment page.

21
00:00:58,466 --> 00:01:00,352
Enter your payment details here.

22
00:01:00,352 --> 00:01:01,973
You'll be able to review your plan

23
00:01:01,973 --> 00:01:04,293
before finalizing your purchase
on the next page.

24
00:01:05,377 --> 00:01:07,601
Make sure everything looks good
before you buy.

25
00:01:07,972 --> 00:01:10,580
Keep in mind that your plan
will automatically renew

26
00:01:10,580 --> 00:01:11,791
after three months,

27
00:01:11,791 --> 00:01:13,313
but you can cancel at any time.

28
00:01:14,130 --> 00:01:16,776
Now you're ready to start
customizing your team.

29
00:01:16,776 --> 00:01:20,351
You'll automatically be taken through
a few quick steps to get you started.

30
00:01:21,029 --> 00:01:23,243
The first step is to link
your YouTube channel.

31
00:01:23,872 --> 00:01:27,961
This will allow your team to easily create
and publish subtitles to YouTube.

32
00:01:28,363 --> 00:01:32,653
If all of your YouTube videos are spoken
in the same language, choose that here.

33
00:01:32,653 --> 00:01:35,992
If you speak more than one language
in your videos, leave this blank

34
00:01:35,992 --> 00:01:38,623
and you can manually enter
the video languages later.

35
00:01:38,623 --> 00:01:41,284
You'll be taken outside of Amara
to login to YouTube.

36
00:01:42,518 --> 00:01:46,315
The next step is to choose the languages
you want subtitles created in.

37
00:01:46,667 --> 00:01:50,085
If you want subtitles in the language
your video is spoken,

38
00:01:50,085 --> 00:01:52,945
make sure to include
your channel language here.

39
00:01:52,945 --> 00:01:56,238
Once you set these languages,
you won't be able to change them,

40
00:01:56,238 --> 00:01:59,984
so if you don't know which ones
you want just yet, skip this for now,

41
00:01:59,984 --> 00:02:01,814
and you can always set the rest later.

42
00:02:02,364 --> 00:02:05,334
Your "user language" refers to
the languages you speak

43
00:02:05,334 --> 00:02:08,262
and understand well enough
to create subtitles in.

44
00:02:08,745 --> 00:02:12,646
Make sure to fill this out if you want to
personally contribute to videos on Amara.

45
00:02:13,495 --> 00:02:17,271
Finally, if you have friends or family
that you want on your team,

46
00:02:17,271 --> 00:02:20,701
you can invite them by entering
their email addresses in this box.

47
00:02:20,921 --> 00:02:25,103
If you don't have specific users in mind
for your team, click "Skip for now".

48
00:02:25,469 --> 00:02:27,618
We'll show you how to send
an application link

49
00:02:27,618 --> 00:02:29,072
to your followers instead.

50
00:02:29,779 --> 00:02:33,285
Once you finish the setup steps,
you'll be taken to your Team Dashboard.

51
00:02:33,745 --> 00:02:36,642
Here, you'll be able to see
videos that need subtitles,

52
00:02:36,642 --> 00:02:40,136
recent activity, and navigate
to other management pages.

53
00:02:40,871 --> 00:02:43,378
To see all of your videos,
head to the Videos page.

54
00:02:45,144 --> 00:02:47,163
Once you link your YouTube channel,

55
00:02:47,163 --> 00:02:50,531
any public videos from your channel
will show up here.

56
00:02:50,531 --> 00:02:52,308
They will be imported automatically,

57
00:02:52,308 --> 00:02:55,649
but it may take up to 15 minutes
for them to show up.

58
00:02:55,649 --> 00:02:58,483
If you didn't select a channel language
in the setup steps,

59
00:02:58,483 --> 00:03:02,006
this is where you can specify
what languages your videos are spoken in,

60
00:03:02,006 --> 00:03:03,880
either one at a time or in bulk.

61
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,710
If you skipped any of
the initial setup steps,

62
00:03:06,710 --> 00:03:08,813
you can complete them
from the Settings page.

63
00:03:09,996 --> 00:03:13,566
The Subtitle Languages tab allows you
to choose languages

64
00:03:13,566 --> 00:03:16,864
that your users will be
able to create subtitles in.

65
00:03:17,095 --> 00:03:20,711
Make sure to hit "Save Changes"
to finalize any changes you've made.

66
00:03:20,959 --> 00:03:24,814
Keep in mind that you can't change
or remove a language once you set it,

67
00:03:24,814 --> 00:03:26,989
but if you find you need more languages,

68
00:03:26,989 --> 00:03:29,105
you can use this button
to upgrade your plan.

69
00:03:31,235 --> 00:03:34,688
The YouTube Channel tab is where
you can link your YouTube channel,

70
00:03:34,688 --> 00:03:36,222
if you haven't already.

71
00:03:36,222 --> 00:03:38,769
The channel name will show here
once it's been linked.

72
00:03:39,849 --> 00:03:43,339
The Team Admission tab is where
you can manage how users join your team.

73
00:03:43,339 --> 00:03:46,004
You can choose to either
invite users directly,

74
00:03:46,004 --> 00:03:49,589
or have users apply to be on your team
through your welcome page.

75
00:03:49,589 --> 00:03:53,974
Right click the welcome page link
and select "Copy link address".

76
00:03:53,974 --> 00:03:56,704
Now you can paste the link
to share with your followers.

77
00:03:56,965 --> 00:03:59,933
To manage your incoming applications,
go to the Members page

78
00:03:59,933 --> 00:04:01,954
and click "Review Applications".

79
00:04:01,954 --> 00:04:06,214
Here you'll see how many seats you have
left on your Amara Community team.

80
00:04:06,214 --> 00:04:09,155
You can always upgrade your plan
if you run out of seats.

81
00:04:14,135 --> 00:04:16,885
The Subtitle Workflow tab
allows you to add a review step

82
00:04:16,885 --> 00:04:18,503
in the subtitling process.

83
00:04:18,503 --> 00:04:21,515
When review is enabled,
subtitles won't get published

84
00:04:21,515 --> 00:04:24,156
without a second team member
checking their work.

85
00:04:24,156 --> 00:04:26,826
This can help ensure that
your subtitles are accurate

86
00:04:26,826 --> 00:04:28,795
and safe from spammers and trolls.

87
00:04:30,771 --> 00:04:33,395
If you wanna customise
how your team pages look,

88
00:04:33,395 --> 00:04:36,991
you can add a banner and logo
from the Community Description tab.

89
00:04:36,991 --> 00:04:40,699
You can also update any info and messaging
you want displayed for your team.

90
00:04:43,392 --> 00:04:46,355
Now you're all set up and ready
to start managing your team.

91
00:04:46,355 --> 00:04:48,168
Check out the links in the description

92
00:04:48,168 --> 00:04:51,009
to find more resources
about Amara Community teams.

93
00:04:51,009 --> 00:04:53,195
We're excited to help you get started.
