How to Upload a same Video Twice on YouTube With Different Names

YouTube hosts millions of user-created videos for free on its servers. The video-sharing website only requires registration to upload a video and start a channel. YouTube runs a checksum to analyze videos for duplicates to avoid hosting the same video more than once. The process blocks videos with the same content regardless of having different file names or video titles. Users have to change the length of the video to bypass detection.
