YouTube's upload tool for computers is more complete than the option for mobile phones. On a computer, users have access to more tools than on a mobile phone. Therefore, publishing videos via the desktop version may be better for more demanding users who want access to more options. However, if this is not the case, posting on the platform via mobile phone can also be a good option, but with fewer features.
Despite this, it is also possible to record videos, do live broadcasts, publish in communities and more using your cell phone.
