A picture is worth a thousand words and a video is worth a thousand pictures and if you see the recent trends, users have now started sharing more videos than ever before. However, people still refrain from posting videos online and one of the main reasons is because of the lousy sound captured from the phone’s microphone.
Shushhhh your video | shutter
The sound can also sometimes be confusing when someone around you doesn’t know that you’re filming. However, sound won’t stop you from uploading your beautiful vacation video to the web. Just remove the audio from the video and mute it, then add some soothing music in the background and it will be perfect.
So here is the trick to mute videos with VLC and YouTube for free and without any limitations.

Remove audio with VLC
If it’s a personal computer and you can install VLC on it, it’s one of the best ways to remove audio from any video. To get started, open VLC Media player and click Media and choose the option of Convert/Save (Ctrl+R).
On the Open Media window that opens, click Add and select the video file for which you want to mute the sound and click the button Convert/Save Button.
When the conversion window opens, first select the profile you want to use to convert the video. Next, click on the option of Edit selected profile next to it and you will be taken to the page where you can edit the selected profile.
Whichever profile you choose will have an audio tab to configure the audio codec and bitrate you want to use. Here, simply uncheck the sound option and save the settings.
Finally, select the output path again when you are on the Convert window and start the conversion process. The conversion will take about the same amount of time as the video, and you’ll be able to see it in the VLC search bar.
Once the conversion if complete, play only the converted video and the video will not have any sound like the original media. Now you can re-edit to include custom tracks or upload to social media without any worries.
Remove audio with YouTube
This method must be used instead if you are unable to use VLC on your computer, as the process involves uploading the video to the web and then downloading it. Not only will it take more time, but it will also cost you some extra bandwidth. If you’re ready, upload the video to your YouTube account and remember to mark it as private.
Keep the upload settings as default as it is not very important and wait for YouTube to take care of it completely.
Once the video is processed, open YouTube’s video editor page and drag the video you’ve uploaded to your library. Once on the video editor, navigate to the audio tab and use the volume slider to mute the video. If that’s all you want, name the new video (project) and click the button Make a video.
Cool Tip: You can also add background music to these videos using YouTube’s video editor.
The new video will be processed, which may take some time, and will be added to your video library along with all the uploads you’ve made. Now all you need to do is click the down arrow next to it edit button and choose download option.
