Most YouTube "screens" are set to 16:9 proportions, the same as 1280x720 (HD) and 1920x1080 (FHD) and 3840x2160 (UHD).
What is the frame-size of your media? And your sequence settings? If they match the above proportions, you don't normally see black bars on the sides or top.

do you have a youtube link to one of your videos with the black bars ?? someone can probably tell from the settings what you uploaded ( resolution ) … and help you figure out a solution maybe … depending on how strong your computer is...
your capture device is a game capture card .. right ??? In the specs it says you have the following options for recording,,
supported resolutions
1080p60, 1080p30, 1080i, 720p60, 720p30, 576p, 576i, 480p
The first 5 are 16:9 aspect ratio and should upload to youtube without black bars...
The last 3 or older ( like old CRT TV sets, called standard definition (SD) ) and are 4:3 aspect ratio ( more squarish and not as wide as 16:9 )
it's a little weird cause the 1080p is really 1920x1080 .. and the second number is what is used for the ID of stuff.
1920x1080 is called Full High Definition ( FHD), and 1280x720 is called High Definition ( HD ) and both are 16:9 ratio.
If you take an bunch of squares that are exactly the same size and line them up ( across and down a screen ) you would have 16 across and 9 down to make 16:9. And for Standard Definition ( SD ) you would have 4 across and 3 down for 4:3.
That's why the 4:3 gets black bars when you stick it into a 16:9 frame.
hehe, it's weird, but once you know it things get easier to figure out ...
good luck !

Unfortunately, there is no automatic way to remove letterboxing (black bars top and bottom) or pillarboxing (black bars on the left and right). Here are some possible solutions to remove black bars or letterboxing:
If you have already cut footage in your timeline...
If you wish to just remove all letterboxing or pillarboxing from all our video clips "before" editing...
If you give us more information about your media like specific sizes and aspect ratio--we can help you more specifically. ![]()
