About the YouTube Video Service

YouTube Streaming Video Broadcasting

If you haven’t seen some of the latest media coming from sites like vMix and YouTube, tune in, because you’re missing out on an entire sub-culture online.  These services and forms of communication are sweeping the World Wide Web as people are realizing how easy and fun it is to share videos, much like you would a written blog.

YouTube is a free service that allows you to search, create, collect and share videos online - whether they are home videos, cult classics or scenes from a favorite TV show.

Create and Broadcast Your Videos

With YouTube, once you have filmed your video, you can:

  • Upload and tag your creations
  • E-mail them to friends
  • Link to your video from any Web site
  • Embed your video in selected Web sites

YouTube acts as your very own blog for videos.  Once you upload to the site, you can share your videos with the whole world. 

Also, if you're a filmmaker, record label, or other professional content creator, YouTube is a great way to distribute your work. The “Director Program” lets you tag all of your videos with your logo or graphic so your fans can find you easily.

Share Your Videos with Others

Join special groups, message with other YouTube subscribers and share your videos once they are uploaded.  YouTube also functions as an innovative social networking tool.

More possibilities on YouTube:

  • Join groups with common interests
  • Comment on and rate videos
  • Send messages
  • Share private videos with friends and family

Keep a Collection of Streaming Videos

Make playlists, create a collection of your favorites and get updates on the newest videos uploaded to the site, all on YouTube.

More ways to personalize YouTube:

  • Subscribe to users and tags - have videos delivered to you
  • Start a “favorites” list
  • Categorize favorites with playlists
  • Browse categories to find new and interesting uploads

Don’t forget that exploring and using services like YouTube is much faster and easier with a broadband Internet connection.  If you don’t have one of those, check out some providers in your area today.
