As informed above, there are 15 different categories on YouTube, as mentioned herein below and you have to select the right category from the list while publishing the video on YouTube.
If you know under which category your YouTube Channel falls, then you can select the default category for your channel, so you do not have to select the category every time you upload the video on YouTube.
Alternatively, in case you do not want to select a specific category for your channel, you can select the appropriate category while publishing the video. This process can be done every time you upload.
There are two different ways to change your YouTube video category, either you can go with the default category option where you have to select the category only once, and do not need to select every time you upload a video on the channel.
