YouTube

A video site owned by Google: a business publishes videos there for free, and viewers find them through search, recommendations and subscriptions.

What YouTube is

Written from its maker's own pages, read on 28 October 2026.

YouTube is a video-sharing site run by Google LLC. Anyone can upload original videos to a channel, and viewers watch them, share them and subscribe to channels. Its stated mission is to give everyone a voice and show them the world.

Viewers find videos through search, the Homepage and the Up Next panel next to a playing video. A recommendation system decides what to show, using each user's viewing behaviour, likes, dislikes, subscriptions and feedback such as satisfaction surveys, and it also weighs the reputation and quality of a channel. Search results are ranked by relevance, engagement and quality. Creators manage their channels in YouTube Studio. In the YouTube Partner Program, a creator with at least 1,000 subscribers earns 55% of the revenue from ads shown on their videos, plus a share of YouTube Premium subscriptions; other income sources include channel memberships, Superchat and YouTube Shopping.

Uploading and watching videos are free. YouTube's revenue comes from advertisers and from subscriptions, and businesses can also buy ads on YouTube.
