YouTube features

YouTube develops and distributes programs and features that provide greater opportunities for the user. YouTube aims to make any task convenient and easy for the user, from browsing to creating their own video.

The "Video toolbox" section or the "Video toolbox" presents tips and tricks used to create a video. There are scenes relating to lighting, video editing, the angle at which the camera is installed, sound recording and special effects. You do not need to be a member of the YouTube community to view these videos.

The "TestTube" section , or the testing section, in which new programs are offered for beta testing, before they are uploaded to the site for general use.

Here are some of the TestTube apps:

• Active sharing, that is, the exchange of links about the activity, shows other members of the community, the stories are watched by a certain visitor.
• AudioSwap, a program that allows the user to change the sound in his video. YouTube specialists created this application so that members of the community could remove copyright-protected audio and replace it with approved music.
• Remixer, a program developed by Adobe Premiere Express, is intended for editing video that has already been uploaded to YouTube, including the use of transitions and video effects.
• Streams, lobbies where several people can watch and comment on the same video at the same time. It’s like being in a movie theater and exchanging opinions about a movie with friends, but there’s no risk that the ticket collector will take you out of the room because you were in the way. to others.

Perhaps the most useful feature of YouTube is the ability to search. When a community member sends a video to a website, they can specify a title, description, and tags containing the search keywords in special fields. It depends on the correctness of the input keywords. Experienced users know that you need to add more keywords with the most common errors. Unscrupulous users add keywords that have nothing to do with the content of the video. This artificially increases the number of views of the relevant plot, but is unlikely to contribute to obtaining high marks.
