Does posting videos on YouTube require you to have a 107 license? Is there another way to post videos since they are large files? I’ve been screeded shots from my videos for now.

I'd check the posting bit. I know the Copyright Office would consider posting on the 'net as being "published", so just maybe the FAA might equate "published" with "commercial", and require the Part 107.
Can't answer about the large posting. YouTube should have guidelines.
I'm taking a course and expect to have my 107 in a couple weeks.
My read, so far, is that it involves the actual intent of the flight. After you take the video, you can share it. If YouTube starts sending you money, that may make a difference.
My choice is to buy a subscription to Vimeo to share videos, drone or otherwise.
