The product team at YouTube estimates that more than 400 hours of video are posted to the site every minute. Additionally, nearly 1 billion hours of video are watched daily on YouTube. I find that I go to YouTube at least ten times per day.
There are a lot of subtle but useful features in YouTube. The YouTube product team deserves praise for working with me to create this list of 5 YouTube video promotion tips and tricks you should be aware of:
1. 360-Degree Videos
For people who are interested in learning more about potential travel destinations, such as swimming with sharks, taking a cable car in Switzerland, or visiting the Natural History Museum in London to witness a living, breathing dinosaur, 360-degree movies on YouTube offer an immersive experience.
2. YouTube VR Videos
In recent years, virtual and augmented reality has gained popularity. Another immersive way to view YouTube videos is through YouTube VR. By selecting the Cardboard icon on 360-degree videos on your mobile device and placing your phone in a viewer like Google Cardboard or a Daydream View headset, you can watch YouTube videos in virtual reality.
3. Add videos to the “Watch Later” list.
The YouTube “Watch Later” playlist is a favourite of mine. I occasionally want to view a lengthy YouTube video, but I am unable to do so during work hours. In order to watch those videos later, I have added them to my “Watch Later” playlist. By hitting the clock icon on the video thumbnails or the “Add to” icon next to the video on the watch page and selecting the “Watch Later” playlist, you can easily add a video to the playlist.
4. Purchase and rent videos on YouTube
You could occasionally prefer to remain home and watch a movie. You may purchase or rent movies on YouTube through its marketplace. You can choose from recently released movies, Oscar winners, and even movies that are still showing in cinemas.
5. View Captioned Videos
I occasionally choose to watch TV with closed captions. Approximately 1 billion videos on YouTube include automatic Captions features, including auto-translation. Did you know this? By hitting the Settings icon and selecting your language or, if available, auto-translation, you can turn on captions.
