00:00:02.978 --> 00:00:03.981
Hey, everyone!

00:00:04.109 --> 00:00:07.472
In this video, you'll learn 
how to sign up for Amara Community,

00:00:07.472 --> 00:00:09.242
so that your friends and followers

00:00:09.242 --> 00:00:11.596
can help you subtitle
and translate your videos.

00:00:11.596 --> 00:00:12.683
Let's get started.

00:00:13.530 --> 00:00:16.146
First, you'll need to
create an Amara account.

00:00:16.146 --> 00:00:19.457
If you already have an account,
you can click "Go to Login".

00:00:19.457 --> 00:00:22.178
Otherwise, fill out the form
and create a new account.

00:00:22.963 --> 00:00:25.089
A confirmation email will be sent to you.

00:00:25.089 --> 00:00:26.707
You'll need to verify your email

00:00:26.707 --> 00:00:29.945
before you can use some of the features
of your Amara Community team.

00:00:30.916 --> 00:00:32.339
Pick a name for your team.

00:00:32.339 --> 00:00:35.388
It can match your YouTube channel,
or be something else entirely.

00:00:36.979 --> 00:00:40.783
Here, you'll choose the number of seats
and languages for your team.

00:00:40.783 --> 00:00:43.607
Each seat is an available space
for a team member.

00:00:44.195 --> 00:00:46.594
"Team languages" refers to
the number of languages

00:00:46.594 --> 00:00:48.950
your team members can translate
your videos into.

00:00:48.950 --> 00:00:52.249
If you're not sure about what you'll need,
start with a small number.

00:00:52.249 --> 00:00:54.113
You can always upgrade your plan later.

00:00:55.782 --> 00:00:57.940
Next, you'll be taken to the payment page.

00:00:58.466 --> 00:01:00.352
Enter your payment details here.

00:01:00.352 --> 00:01:01.973
You'll be able to review your plan

00:01:01.973 --> 00:01:04.293
before finalizing your purchase
on the next page.

00:01:05.377 --> 00:01:07.601
Make sure everything looks good
before you buy.

00:01:07.972 --> 00:01:10.580
Keep in mind that your plan
will automatically renew

00:01:10.580 --> 00:01:11.791
after three months,

00:01:11.791 --> 00:01:13.313
but you can cancel at any time.

00:01:14.130 --> 00:01:16.776
Now you're ready to start
customizing your team.

00:01:16.776 --> 00:01:20.351
You'll automatically be taken through
a few quick steps to get you started.

00:01:21.029 --> 00:01:23.243
The first step is to link
your YouTube channel.

00:01:23.872 --> 00:01:27.961
This will allow your team to easily create
and publish subtitles to YouTube.

00:01:28.363 --> 00:01:32.653
If all of your YouTube videos are spoken
in the same language, choose that here.

00:01:32.653 --> 00:01:35.992
If you speak more than one language
in your videos, leave this blank

00:01:35.992 --> 00:01:38.623
and you can manually enter
the video languages later.

00:01:38.623 --> 00:01:41.284
You'll be taken outside of Amara
to login to YouTube.

00:01:42.518 --> 00:01:46.315
The next step is to choose the languages
you want subtitles created in.

00:01:46.667 --> 00:01:50.085
If you want subtitles in the language
your video is spoken,

00:01:50.085 --> 00:01:52.945
make sure to include
your channel language here.

00:01:52.945 --> 00:01:56.238
Once you set these languages,
you won't be able to change them,

00:01:56.238 --> 00:01:59.984
so if you don't know which ones
you want just yet, skip this for now,

00:01:59.984 --> 00:02:01.814
and you can always set the rest later.

00:02:02.364 --> 00:02:05.334
Your "user language" refers to
the languages you speak

00:02:05.334 --> 00:02:08.262
and understand well enough
to create subtitles in.

00:02:08.745 --> 00:02:12.646
Make sure to fill this out if you want to
personally contribute to videos on Amara.

00:02:13.495 --> 00:02:17.271
Finally, if you have friends or family
that you want on your team,

00:02:17.271 --> 00:02:20.701
you can invite them by entering
their email addresses in this box.

00:02:20.921 --> 00:02:25.103
If you don't have specific users in mind
for your team, click "Skip for now".

00:02:25.469 --> 00:02:27.618
We'll show you how to send
an application link

00:02:27.618 --> 00:02:29.072
to your followers instead.

00:02:29.779 --> 00:02:33.285
Once you finish the setup steps,
you'll be taken to your Team Dashboard.

00:02:33.745 --> 00:02:36.642
Here, you'll be able to see
videos that need subtitles,

00:02:36.642 --> 00:02:40.136
recent activity, and navigate
to other management pages.

00:02:40.871 --> 00:02:43.378
To see all of your videos,
head to the Videos page.

00:02:45.144 --> 00:02:47.163
Once you link your YouTube channel,

00:02:47.163 --> 00:02:50.531
any public videos from your channel
will show up here.

00:02:50.531 --> 00:02:52.308
They will be imported automatically,

00:02:52.308 --> 00:02:55.649
but it may take up to 15 minutes
for them to show up.

00:02:55.649 --> 00:02:58.483
If you didn't select a channel language
in the setup steps,

00:02:58.483 --> 00:03:02.006
this is where you can specify
what languages your videos are spoken in,

00:03:02.006 --> 00:03:03.880
either one at a time or in bulk.

00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.710
If you skipped any of
the initial setup steps,

00:03:06.710 --> 00:03:08.813
you can complete them
from the Settings page.

00:03:09.996 --> 00:03:13.566
The Subtitle Languages tab allows you
to choose languages

00:03:13.566 --> 00:03:16.864
that your users will be
able to create subtitles in.

00:03:17.095 --> 00:03:20.711
Make sure to hit "Save Changes"
to finalize any changes you've made.

00:03:20.959 --> 00:03:24.814
Keep in mind that you can't change
or remove a language once you set it,

00:03:24.814 --> 00:03:26.989
but if you find you need more languages,

00:03:26.989 --> 00:03:29.105
you can use this button
to upgrade your plan.

00:03:31.235 --> 00:03:34.688
The YouTube Channel tab is where
you can link your YouTube channel,

00:03:34.688 --> 00:03:36.222
if you haven't already.

00:03:36.222 --> 00:03:38.769
The channel name will show here
once it's been linked.

00:03:39.849 --> 00:03:43.339
The Team Admission tab is where
you can manage how users join your team.

00:03:43.669 --> 00:03:46.004
You can choose to either
invite users directly,

00:03:46.004 --> 00:03:49.252
or have users apply to be on your team
through your welcome page.

00:03:49.589 --> 00:03:53.511
Right click the welcome page link
and select "Copy link address".

00:03:53.974 --> 00:03:56.704
Now you can paste the link
to share with your followers.

00:03:56.965 --> 00:03:59.933
To manage your incoming applications,
go to the Members page

00:03:59.933 --> 00:04:01.804
and click "Review Applications".

00:04:02.674 --> 00:04:06.214
Here you'll see how many seats you have
left on your Amara Community team.

00:04:06.612 --> 00:04:09.275
You can always upgrade your plan
if you run out of seats.

00:04:14.135 --> 00:04:16.885
The Subtitle Workflow tab
allows you to add a review step

00:04:16.885 --> 00:04:18.603
in the subtitling process.

00:04:18.603 --> 00:04:21.515
When review is enabled,
subtitles won't get published

00:04:21.515 --> 00:04:23.953
without a second team member
checking their work.

00:04:24.156 --> 00:04:26.826
This can help ensure
that your subtitles are accurate

00:04:26.826 --> 00:04:28.795
and safe from spammers and trolls.

00:04:30.771 --> 00:04:33.395
If you want to customize
how your team pages look,

00:04:33.395 --> 00:04:36.581
you can add a banner and logo
from the Community Description tab.

00:04:36.991 --> 00:04:40.699
You can also update any info and messaging
you want displayed for your team.

00:04:43.392 --> 00:04:46.295
Now you're all set up and ready
to start managing your team.

00:04:46.605 --> 00:04:48.124
Check out the links in the description

00:04:48.124 --> 00:04:51.009
to find more resources
about Amara Community teams.

00:04:51.299 --> 00:04:53.195
We're excited to help you get started.
