FAQ about Youtube

What is YouTube?

YouTube is an online video streaming service that allows anyone to view and share videos that have been uploaded by its members.


How do videos get featured?

YouTube's members rate videos they like, and we review highly-rated and recent videos for consideration in the "Featured Videos" section of the home page and the featured videos on the "Categories" page. In addition, our programming team takes suggestions from members at editor@youtube.com and scans the site for videos of interest.


How do I join?

To become a member of YouTube, go to the "Signup" page (http://www.youtube.com/signup), choose a username and password, and enter your information. Then click the "Sign Up" button and you're done.
