New YouTube Feature Allows Uploading of Google+ Videos

at PST By

If you have videos on Google+, Google is launching a new tool on YouTube that allows people to import their Google+ videos to YouTube.

The new tool is on the video upload page of YouTube and is located to the right of the upload video tool with a large Google+ icon.

It is unclear if this addition is changing anything with how videos are currently saved on Google+ or if it is simply meant as a convenience functionality.

This feature appears to be rolling out across accounts at the moment.  Nedas Petravicius was the first to notice the functionality and has shared more screenshots of it in action here.
