TRIO Live 2 Instructions
In order to be eligible for People's Choice Awards, you will need to add "uwtriolive" tag to your video and allow ratings. You may decide to allow or disallow comments depending on your preference.
The default settings for ratings and comments on YouTube are fine, so there is no need to make any changes to these two settings. However, you have to add the tag on your own, so please see below for instructions.
1. Add "uwtriolive2" tag to your YouTube video
There are two ways to tag your video. The first one is to add the tag while you're uploading your video to YouTube. Type in "uwtriolive2" under tags, and click on Save Changes once you are finished.
The other way is to edit the video settings after your video has been uploaded to Youtube; go to YouTube help page on how to add a tag to a video for instructions.
