Top Five Features of YouTube Videos

Picture
YouTube is a popular video site, where you can watch videos and upload your own videos. If you have an online business or a content-based website where you'd like to add screencasts or online tutorials, you can upload all these videos on YouTube, and stream them on your website directly. This will spruce up your site, help you get more visitors, and not cost a dime extra for hosting space. Registration is free and actually not required if you want to watch only YouTube videos.
 

Apart from what we've mentioned, YouTube offers many other interesting features. Here is a look at top five of these: 
 

  • YouTube lets you post a video link to your subscriber’s or friend’s YouTube homepage. This feature is available under My Channel >> Bulletins.

  • Now you can see a description of your video at the top of the video play bar. This feature will increase the referral traffic coming to your website. You can access this feature at the My Videos tab. Select the Edit Video menu and then the Description to add your own.
 

  • YouTube allows you to send an invite to a YouTube member by specifying their username or email id. This will send an invite message to that person to join you on YouTube.

  • If you have social media accounts, now you can connect them to YouTube. Recently, YouTube has enabled such a feature for members with social media accounts to share videos through their social media networks.
 

  • A new innovative feature is the ability to add videos within a video. Users can do this through the Annotations feature. Create a text box, mention the video link and then specify the timeline when the video should appear.
 

Once you get acquainted with the amazing service provided by YouTube, you'll be able to utilize and appreciate many other features that YouTube has to offer. Moreover, Google is constantly adding new features to its services to enhance user experience, and YouTube is no different.
