About YouTube
YouTube is the world's largest video sharing platform, hosting everything from short clips and music videos to tutorials, documentaries, podcasts, and live broadcasts. Anyone can create a channel, upload videos, go live, and reach a global audience for free.
Viewers find content through search, recommendations, subscriptions, and the Shorts feed for vertical short-form video. Creators monetize through the YouTube Partner Program, channel memberships, Super Chats during live streams, and Shorts revenue.
