All About YouTube

Soon after the Internet became widely available, people began posting digital images online. But sharing videos with a large audience was more challenging. By creating YouTube, three friends who worked together at PayPal forever changed the way people watched videos online. Today, millions of people turn to YouTube every day for a wide range of content. From small channels run by new YouTube creators to accounts with millions of subscribers, YouTube offers videos on gaming, music, news, sports, and more. Users can choose to watch this content or create their own. Part of the All About Social Media series, All About YouTube shares the history, uses, and features of this fun and useful social media platform.
