I uploaded my app to itunes connect and i waited a few days.. and then the app that i uploaded was denied. 1 of the reason was that i didnt had a demonstration video with my app in use?

Furthermore, we began the review of your app but are not able to continue because we need access to a video that demonstrates your app in use.

The video must show the full process of functionality from signing in to the different sections off the application.

You can provide a link to a demo video of your app in iTunes Connect. Go to "Manage Your Applications," select your app, click "Edit Information," then scroll to the "Review Notes" section and add the demonstration video access details."

What do i need to do? Use a screen capture software and film my app in use in the simulator? Upload to youtube and share the link in the review notes of the app? A simple demonstration? or a expanded demonstration?

Anny help wouldnt be helpfull, ty!.

Apple tends to ask for a video of the app in use if it's not clear how the app operates. Common causes are that the app is not written in English (so the reviewers can't read the app instructions), is tied to a site that requires login, or makes use of specific hardware. In these cases, the app reviewers can't easily verify correct operation of the app and would like a video showing common use so they can repeat the steps and verify the app.

My understanding is that a YouTube video will suffice.

There are some options (including free or trial software) for recording your app here:
