WHAT'S NEW
The rise in popularity of new technologies among
teenagers, from gaming to smartphones to streaming
platforms, has understandably raised important questions
about not only the right way for parents to help their
children navigate the changing tech landscape, but also
the role that regulation should play in both protecting
and empowering young people.
Pop the confetti, because YouTube is turning 20! From the
19-second clip that started it all, to now over 20 billion
uploaded videos,1 including music, Shorts, podcasts and
more, we've grown so much in just two decades.
We're kicking off our birthday with plenty of ways to
celebrate. Take a peek at some of our new features, stats,
hidden gems and easter eggs below to help you join in on
the festivities:
A message from Neal Mohan, YouTube CEO: Today, YouTube is
pleased to join over a dozen regional content creators and
distributors representing ten countries to participate in
the Youth Digital Wellbeing Initiative, supporting a
unified vision for the development of high-quality,
age-appropriate content for young people. |
