^{Sending a movie to the Web}

The Web saving option lets you save your movie and then send it to a video hosting provider on the Web. The hosting providers are third-party companies that let you store your movies on their Web server. In Windows Movie Maker, you can choose from a variety of hosting providers. After your movie is sent to the Web server, you can provide your family and friends with the Web address so they can watch your movie on the Web.

When using The Web saving option, the Save Movie Wizard proceeds as follows.

1. Specify a movie file name. For more information about entering a movie file name, see Naming the saved movie file.
2. Choose a setting for saving your movie. For more information about choosing the appropriate setting when saving and sending a movie to the Web, see Choosing a movie setting for the Web.
3. Wait for your movie to be saved. For more information about monitoring the saving progress of your movie when sending it to the Web, see Saving a movie for sending to the Web.
4. Wait for the most current video hosting provider information to download from the Web. For more information, see Getting video hosting provider information from the Internet.
5. Select a video hosting provider, and then enter your account sign-in information. For more information about choosing and signing in to a video hosting provider, see Choosing and signing in to a video hosting provider.
6. Wait for your sign in account information to be verified. For more information, see Signing in progress.
7. Wait for your movie to be sent to the video hosting provider that you specified. For more information about sending a movie to the Web, see Sending a movie to the Web progress.
