Youtube

YouTube is a free video sharing website that allows users to watch and upload videos. Originally created in 2005, it has become one of the most popular sites on the web with over 6 billion hours of video watched each month. YouTube is popular due to the huge number of videos available on all topics, which are largely created by everyday users rather than major studios. However, not all YouTube content is appropriate for children under 13 and parental controls can be used to filter videos.

What is YouTube?

YouTube is a free video sharing website that makes it easy to watch online


videos. You can even create and upload your own videos to share with others.
Originally created in 2005, YouTube is now one of the most popular sites on
the Web, with visitors watching around 6 billion hours of video every month.
If you've ever watched a video online, there's a good chance it was a YouTube
video. For example, almost all of the video tutorials on our website are
actually YouTube videos!

Why use YouTube?


One reason YouTube is so popular is the sheer number of videos you can find.
On average, 100 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute, so
there's always something new to watch! And you'll find all kinds of videos on
YouTube—adorable cats, quirky cooking demos, funny science lessons, quick
fashion tips, and a whole lot more.

Check out a few of the YouTube videos below. They should give you a good
idea of the wide range of content available on YouTube.

Another reason YouTube is so popular: It's all about user-generated


content. Instead of videos from major TV networks and movie studios, you'll
find amazing and creative videos made by people just like you. And YouTube
isn't a one-way street—you can jump in, record and share your own videos,
and become a part of the community.

Is YouTube appropriate for everyone?


With so much content on YouTube, it's important to note that not all
YouTube videos are appropriate for everyone, especially children under
the age of 13. However, there are tools you can use, such as Safety Mode, to
restrict the types of videos you can view. We'll talk more about this in our
lesson on using parental controls.

About this tutorial


If you've ever used any of the other free, self-paced tutorials on our website,
you may notice that this tutorial is structured a bit differently. Rather than
combining related tasks into longer lessons, we decided to break up
important skills into short, task-based lessons. We hope this makes it easier
for you to jump around from lesson to lesson and find the answer you need. If
you prefer to go step by step, that's fine too! Just work through the lessons in
order.
Throughout this tutorial, you'll see that we've recorded our own YouTube
videos (like the one above) to give you a bit more context and information on
certain topics. In addition to our own content, you'll find several videos from
the official YouTube Help channel to show you the specifics of using the
YouTube interface.
