'''YouTube''' adalah sebuah situs web [[layanan penyimpanan video|berbagi video]] yang dibuat oleh orang Indonesia pada Februari 2005. Situs ini memungkinkan pengguna mengunggah, menonton, dan berbagi video.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Surprise!

Selain itu ada pula konten amatir seperti [[blog video]], video orisinal pendek, dan video pendidikan.

Kebanyakan konten di YouTube diunggah oleh individu, meskipun perusahaan-perusahaan media seperti [[CBS]], [[BBC]], [[Vevo]], [[Hulu]], dan organisasi lain sudah mengunggah material mereka ke situs ini sebagai bagian dari program kemitraan YouTube.<ref>{{Cite news|title=BBC strikes Google-YouTube deal|author=Weber, Tim|publisher=BBC|url =http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6411017.stm|accessdate=January 17, 2009|date=March 2, 2007}}</ref> Pengguna tak terdaftar dapat menonton video, sementara pengguna terdaftar dapat mengunggah video dalam jumlah tak terbatas. Video-video yang dianggap berisi konten ofensif hanya bisa ditonton oleh pengguna terdaftar berusia 18 tahun atau lebih. Pada November 2006, YouTube, LLC dibeli oleh [[Google]] dengan nilai US$16,5 miliar dan resmi beroperasi sebagai anak perusahaan Google.

Menurut cerita yang berulang-ulang diterbitkan di media, Hurley dan Chen mengembangkan ide YouTube pada bulan-bulan pertama tahun 2005 setelah mengalami kesulitan saat berbagi video pesta makan malam di apartemen Chen di San Francisco.

''itag'' is an undocumented parameter used internally by YouTube to
differentiate between quality profiles. Until December 2010, there was also a
URL parameter known as ''fmt'' that allowed a user to force a profile using
''itag'' codes.

Approximate values based on statistical data; actual bitrate can be higher or

==== Video 3D ====
Dalam sebuah video yang diunggah tanggal 21 Juli 2009,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ANcspdYh_U|title=YouTube in 3D|publisher=YouTube|date=July 21, 2009|accessdate=August 3, 2009}}</ref> teknisi perangkat lunak YouTube Peter Bradshaw mengumumkan bahwa pengguna YouTube sekarang bisa mengunggah [[film 3D|video 3D]]. Video jenis ini dapat ditonton dengan beberapa cara, termasuk metode [[3D anaglif|anaglif]] (lensa sian/merah) yang membutuhkan kacamata khusus untuk mendapatkan efek 3D-nya.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.physorg.com/news167575864.html|title=YouTube in 3D?|work=Physorg|date=July 23, 2009|accessdate=August 3, 2009|first=Miranda|last=Marquit}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://techie-buzz.com/video-tools/youtube-3d-videos.html|title=YouTube 3D Videos|date=July 20, 2009|work=Techie Buzz|first=Keith|last=Dsouza|accessdate=August 3, 2009}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thinkdigit.com/Internet/YouTube-adds-a-dimension-3D-goggles-not_3219.html|title=YouTube adds a dimension, 3D goggles not included|date=July 21, 2009|accessdate=August 3, 2009|work=thinkdigit|first=Kshitij|last=Sobti}}</ref> [[Adobe Flash|Flash]] Player YouTube bisa menampilkan konten stereoskop dengan pola baris, kolom, atau papan catur, samping-sampingan atau anaglif dengan kombinasi merah/sian, hijau/magenta, atau biru/kuning.

=== Keteraksesan konten ===
YouTube menawarkan kemampuan menonton video di situs luar. Setiap video YouTube memiliki kode [[HTML]] yang bisa ditanamkan di situs manapun di Internet. Fungsi ini sering dipakai untuk memasang video YouTube di halaman [[jejaring sosial]] dan blog.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://youtube.com/sharing|title=Sharing YouTube Videos|author=YouTube|accessdate=January 17, 2009}}{{dead link|date=February 2013}}</ref> Pemasangan video, fitur peringkat, dan komentar dapat dinonaktifkan oleh pemilik video.

YouTube jarang menaruh tautan unduh di video-videonya agar ditonton melalui situs webnya saja.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.youtube.com/t/terms|title=Terms of Use, 5.B|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=August 25, 2010}}</ref> Sejumlah video, seperti pidato mingguan Presiden [[Barack Obama]], dapat diunduh dalam bentuk [[MPEG-4 Part 14|MP4]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10144823-2.html|title=(Some) YouTube videos get download option|author=CNET|date=January 16, 2009|accessdate=January 17, 2009}}</ref> Banyak sekali situs web, aplikasi, dan plug-in pihak ketiga yang memungkinkan pengguna mengunduh video-video YouTube.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2009/02/---mark-milian.html?cid=149000259|title=YouTube looks out for content owners, disables video ripping|author=Milian, Mark|work=Los Angeles Times|date=February 19, 2009|accessdate=February 21, 2009}}</ref> Pada Februari 2009, YouTube melunrukan layanan uji coba yang mengizinkan beberapa mitra menaruh tautan unduh secara gratis atau berbayar melalui [[Google Checkout]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/12/AR2009021203239.html|title=YouTube Hopes To Boost Revenue With Video Downloads|work=Washington Post|date=February 12, 2009|accessdate=February 19, 2009|first=Leena|last=Rao}}</ref> Pengaturan baku saat mengunggah video ke YouTube adalah pengunggah akan tetap memegang [[hak cipta]] video tersebut, namun sejak Juli 2012 pengunggah bisa memilih lisensi [[Creative Commons]] sebagai lisensi bakunya.
