Youtube is a global video-sharing service and part social network website. YouTube allows users to upload, view, rate, share, add to playlists, report, comment on videos, and subscribe to other users. It offers a wide variety of user-generated, corporate, and professional media.

  • Upload videos with resolution up to 2160p (4k) and 60 frames per second
  • Add “annotations” to videos — such as pop-up messages and hyperlinks
  • Real-time live streaming and “stories” for subscribers
  • Leave messages on subscribers’ feeds
  • Upload 3D and 360 degree content
  • Add captions or use automatic transcription (supports most common languages)
  • Subscribe to “channels” (content uploaded to specific YouTube accounts)
  • Creating playlists of videos
  • Control the privacy (public vs unlisted) of uploaded content
  • Watch videos to gain new knowledge
