Hello, Rebecca. Here are the steps to put a Zoom recording on YouTube.
Download the MP4 recording if it is in the Cloud. If locally, you already have the recording, and no need to download it. If you have multiple MP4 files, I would use the one that is 1920x1080. That is a great size for YouTube videos.
Go to YouTube and sign in.
Click Upload Video - See the attached image for a screenshot.
Click Select Files or drag and drop.
Run through the steps adding a video Title, description, etc. - Another Screenshot.
Decide if you want the video Public or Unlisted. That will be one of the steps when you have to select.
I hope that helps and please make sure to mark the solution as accepted if this information is what you need.
The quick answer is, it's two steps: download the video file you want from Zoom, then upload the file to YouTube.
Beyond that, I'm not sure what level of information you're looking for. You can download all of the videos from Zoom and view each one to see which one you want -- it's most likely the "shared screen with gallery view".

Isaiah 7:10 Moreover the Lord spake again unto Ahaz, saying, 11 Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. 12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the Lord. 13 And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also? 14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
Gospel Teaching - Both Testaments
I was reading Luther and stumbled over one of his great insights. The simple - but profound statement - Jesus is most of His work through teaching. He performed many great miracles among the crowds and alone - and He displayed additional miracles before His disciples.
However, creating even more miracles would not have been practical. The Gospel of Mark is filled with miracles, and that was a great help for those who wanted to experience God's work firsthand. And that was exhausting for Jesus who rested and prayed. The disciples were impatient to get Him back to work.
The greatest amount of reach came from Jesus teaching individuals, smaller groups, and great masses of individuals hungry for God's grace - even to the point of going out and hungering for the Word rather than the good food.
I began to think about the fake solutions today - which explain the lack of teaching.
Funny, sad, or dismaying, many denominations:
Gourmet coffee, the pastor as a barista. (Yes Lutheran).
Snacks during the service.
Repairing cars - Midland Michigan.
Expensive invited pastors, to increase the numbers who attend.
Parking the car ministry (WELS).
Must have a better or bigger building.
Comparing with other congregations.
Jesus taught his disciples, small groups, and the masses. The rationalists dismiss the miracles and then find themselves fashioning their own religions based on human reason and imagination.
Our best source of teaching is the Word of God itself, preserved for all time, no matter how much people bend, twist, oppose, and ignore it. Prayer is very good and effective, and it is based on teaching from the Bible. The Holy Spirit in the Word of God is always effective in teaching us how to pray. Nothing is too small to dwell on from the Bible.
Teaching the Christian Faith comes from all points of the compass. Luther said the family is a school for character as the children grow up and learn from their parents. Christian friends are likely to teach one another in various ways. Bruce Wenger, MD PhD, wanted to know about teaching at Yale Divinity, and he gave me many Biblical insights that never left me. The same is true of four professors, during the golden age there.
The faithful are likely to have barnacles to scrape off. We may not think so until it is obvious. So we are in a constant process and learning what God teaches us through the spoken and written Word.
The only benefits come from faith in Jesus Christ. Gather all your knowledge, histories, rulers, leaders, and much more - but the Savior is the one who teaches us about Himself - the Father - and the Spirit. He is God in the Flesh - Incarnate - and serves to help us understand Him, not from guesswork or quirky theories but just the truth itself. I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

KJV 2 Thessalonians 1:3-10. 3 We are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, even as it is meet, for that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all toward one another aboundeth; 4 so that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which ye endure; 5 which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God; to the end that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: 6 if so be that it is a righteous thing with God to recompense affliction to them that afflict you, 7 and to you that are afflicted rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power in flaming fire, 8 rendering vengeance to them that know not God, and to them that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus: who shall suffer punishment, even eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might, 10 when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at in all them that believed (because our testimony unto you was believed) in that day.
KJV Matthew 25:31-46.
When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
Twenty-Sixth Sunday after Trinity - From the Collects of Veit Dietrich O almighty, eternal and merciful God, who by Thy beloved Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, hast established the kingdom of grace for us, that we might believe the forgiveness of our sins, in Thy holy Church on earth, since Thou art a God who hath no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live: We beseech Thee, graciously forgive us all our sins, through the same, Thy Son Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, one true God, world without end. Amen.

The Sheep Ask the Ultimate Question
KJV Matthew 25:31-46. But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory: and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats; and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Old Testament students are struck by the vivid examples in the Bible - plants, flowers, birds, and animals. Here we have a metaphor to describe the ultimate question about how we exist at the end of time. Even the skeptics have to admit that this a striking metaphor that we cannot ignore, especially when we read or hear it. Sheep and goats are related somewhat, but there is a difference, especially because the Good Shepherd is so clearly taught throughout the Bible.
The second part of of Isaiah has this special description of the future Messiah -
KJV Isaiah 40 - 11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.
KJV John 10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
So the question must be - the Scriptures teach faith in Jesus Christ throughout, so why does Jesus teach works? The sheep are placed on the Savior's right hand and the goats on the left. The sheep represent good works while the goats are those who gave nothing except for themselves.
The setting is a courtroom where all are gathered. Jesus is seated on the throne to separate the sheep from the goats, the good from the bad. All the angels are gathered too, because this is final judgement. The great shame is that people of all types are caught up in works and have given up faith in Jesus Christ.
Luther's sermon on this passage makes it easier to understand (much like the True Vine of John 15). The good works are the natural fruit of faith, just like rose plants growing, blossoming, and bearing fruit. I checked the English roses that survived the long drought here. Several plants blossomed and quickly went to seed, producing rose fruit - rose hips (high in vitamin C). Vitamin C tablets taste just like rose hips, because they are.
The Six Examples
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
This is a very touching portrait, covering the basics of human needs and kindness, which have often been experienced by people. I found out this story only a few years ago. One of my best friends (at age 9) was in dire straits with his family, lack of money, lack of food, lack of clothing. Nobody knew this but a group of women, including my mother, gathered everything they could. My mother took clothing from my bedroom. I said, "Mom! Why are you taking my clothes?" She explained - "None of your business," one of two statements she used frequently. The other one was, "You're not old enough." Many decades later, he described how much that meant to him and his family. And he let people know the facts so they would understand how much generosity can do, to encourage us.
Another friend told us how he never held garage sales. Instead, he had free give-always with no questions asked. I never liked garage sales and I disliked filling the garage with extra stuff. We followed his example and suddenly had a garage with a car in it rather than near it.
Works Always Come from Faith in Jesus Christ
Faith in Christ always goes with forgiveness of sin. The good works which Christ poured upon His followers - and still does - are expressions of His kindness and His faith.
Revelation 14:12 - Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
So we are inclined to think of good works aimed at people, but the teaching of Jesus moves us to see how much that matters to Him, thus a perfect loop, from Him to us and from us to Him. Luther described it well when he was cleaning the diapers and neighbors laughed at him. He responded, saying, "Laugh all you want, because the angels in Heaven are weeping with joy."
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
The righteous are not perfect people but those who are forgiven through the atoning death of the Savior.
