Founded in 2005, and now owned by Google, this free resource provides a quick and easy way to post moving image content online. The site allows users to upload, tag and share videos worldwide; browse millions of original videos uploaded by community members; find, join and create video groups to connect with people who have similar interests; customise the experience by subscribing to member videos, saving favorites, and creating playlists; integrate YouTube videos on websites using video embeds or APIs; and make videos public or private—users can elect to broadcast their videos publicly or share them privately with friends and family upon upload. It is an extraordinary - and hugely popular - resource. Following legal action, much of the copyright-infringing material previously broadcast on the site has now been removed and broadcasters are signing agreements for their content to be included. In late 2009 a Shows section was created, which hosts full-length television programmes from 60 providers including the BBC, Five, PBS and Channel 4. Channel 4 is using Youtube to provide a mirror not only for its 4OD 30-day catchup service, but also to show full-length programmes such as several complete series of TIME TEAM and David Starkey’s MONARCHY.
