If your goal is to encourage people to join YouTube and show them what YouTube is all about, then use an official YouTube video. It’s authoritative, professionally made, and viewers are more likely to trust it.
My top choice is:
This one is aimed more at complete beginners and walks them through creating and customising a channel. It has millions of views and has been one of YouTube’s standard beginner guides for years.
This video above:
- Explains what YouTube is.
- Shows how easy it is to start a channel.
- Covers Shorts, long-form videos, live streams and podcasts.
- Encourages creativity and becoming part of the YouTube community.
One important point
someone else’s YouTube video on your website using YouTube’s Embed option, that’s exactly what YouTube intends people to do.
However, downloading someone else’s video and uploading it to your own YouTube channel is generally not allowed unless you have permission from the copyright owner or the video is licensed for that use.
