Is there a way of doing this with a YouTube video ?

I’m trying to create a slideshow of photographs for my gran’s birthday ... about 20 mins worth of photos now...

I have been using an app to create said slideshow which comes with royalty free music but it’s pretty awful and not recognisable to my gran . I have a few songs in mind, can buy the MP3s off Amazon .

Is there a way of adding multiple songs to a YouTube video, without a PC? I only have an iPad and iPhone ... Or is it necessary to have a laptop ... and how do you sort it with eg copyright laws?

Or am I better trying to edit the file without using YouTube at all - and if so how do I share it in a way it can be watched by others ?

Only way we can sort of think of doing is telling anyone who watches it to also listen to Spotify at the same time - which would work for my gran - but that seems a bit awkward !

If there’s a way of sorting it be chuffed, I’m totally new to creating videos so any advice welcomed !

I can't answer the YouTube parts, but I'm fairly certain you would be in breach of copyright if you uploaded other people's music in a video. Although people do it I have no idea of the repercussions. I know that sometimes the music would be muted

However have you come across wetransfer? If everyone has an email address and the file is less than 2gigs then it is free to send. Go to the wetransfer webpage. Upload the file. Enter your email and the person (people) it needs to go to email addresses. It's all very easy.
They get an email with a link to click to download the file to their device.

Aye that’s what I thought, it would be muted or deleted ! Have thought of buying the relevant mp3s off amazon and then trying to add them somehow but no idea how the hell to do that . Beginning to wish I’d never volunteered to do it at all, it’s not as easy I as first thought !
