      @sophiasophia6049 I would upload to your channel and watch on any device, you can set the privacy to public or private. Alternatively you could link your PC or laptop to a smart tv.
      I have a nas drive (network accessible storage) and stream from that which stores all of my video and UA-cam work.
      I hope this helps you
