At the time of writing, there are 51 different language versions on YouTube.[1] This is not necessarily the same as 51 languages, as US and UK English are not that different.

The downloading section {which is unsourced) is way too much attention to a minor issue, and has clear WP:NOTHOWTO issues. The ownership of the vast majority of YouTube videos remains with the uploader. The issue of unlimited uploads is not as clear cut as it first seems. YouTube does not guarantee that any given user will be able to upload videos of unlimited length, as it requires that the account is in good standing. It is not as simple as verifying the account. This New York Times article describes the feature. It is unclear how many users have been offered the chance to upload videos longer than 15 minutes.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 16:02, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for realizing this. The article currently says "In December 2010, YouTube announced that holders of standard accounts would be allowed to upload videos of unlimited length, provided that they have a good history of following the site's Community Guidelines and policy on copyright." I would propose changing this to "some users" to avoid repetition. It is important not to give readers the impression that all users can upload videos longer than 15 minutes.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 21:58, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
IT MUST BE MENTIONED! Youtube is unable to transform PAL AVCHD MTS files correctly (which HD formats are used by Canon Sony Panasonic JVC and Sanyo), it change the 25FPS of PAL camcorders into 30FPS, which causes quality loss and ernomous audio-sync problems. The NTSC AVCHD files haven't that problems on youtube.--84.2.197.184 (talk) 11:46, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

The YouTube help page about this subject is here. When the feature was introduced in December 2010, YouTube did not promise that all users would be able to upload videos longer than 15 minutes, and made clear that it was subject to the account being in good standing. If an account can upload longer videos, the words "increase your limit" will be shown on the uploading page. This will then require account verification via SMS message. YouTube says "Content ID global blocks on even one video will lead to removal of this privilege." This accounts for why not all people see the "increase your limit" message, as they have probably uploaded videos that were flagged as copyright or other TOS violations in the past.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 08:10, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
This was removed because it was uncited, and is basically a WP:NOTHOWTO tutorial:
"Creative Commons licensed works offer a 'remix' option which opens the video in an online video editor. The video editor has a 'publish' function which posts the clip to the operator's account. While the clip is processing, one can select optional levels for privacy, license, title, and information related to the video. One has the option to 'audioswap' the clip, but at cost of losing the shared license option. Once processing is complete a 'download MP4' link opens adjacent to the clip. This technology should be taken in context of YouTube terms of use and with careful copyright considerations. In short, some CC-BY licensed clips were posted by people who did not have the legal right to do so." [citation needed]
It is also not really notable enough for the article.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 07:54, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

As the sourcing says, at the moment Cosmic Panda is a beta test available only by opting in to the trial. This means that Cosmic Panda is not the default interface, and the newer logo with the darker shade of red is not official either. For this reason, the logo in the infobox was reverted to the previous version. The logo in the infobox should remain until Cosmic Panda is the default interface for all users. This is an important move for YouTube, as in the longer term YouTube and Google+ may share a common interface.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 09:30, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

I am proposing an edit to the section called Copyrighted material. At the end of that section, there is a brief mention of the "Video Id" system that is in place on YouTube. That was when it was in beta, and has since evolved into what is called Content ID. I noticed that there is almost no information about how it works or what some of the flaws of the system are. I have procured some sources, and wished to elaborate on the Content ID system more, but as I am not an established user, I cannot make these edits myself. If the edit is allowed, it is my understanding that someone will submit the changes on my behalf which is fine as long as what is put down are my words and not someone else's. Will this be possible? Upon acceptance, I will submit a copy of said edit along with sources for approval. Thank you.

In 2007 1, Google Inc.’s YouTube began testing on video identification technology in the hopes that if it could identify works posted to YouTube without the consent of the owner, the technology could swiftly remove them. With backing from AudibleMagic’s audio-recognition technology 2, in August Google launched in beta form the YouTube Video Identification tool 3. Upon moving out of beta and into final form, this technology was renamed Content ID as it is known today 4, a technology that allows “copyright holders to easily identify and manage their content on YouTube” 5, whether their content is identified in its entirety or only partially 6.
The Content ID tool works by first creating a fingerprint or, ID file, from content that the owners submit into the system, with content of higher quality and ample length yielding more effective ID Files. These ID files correspond to Reference files which are pieces of content that make up the Reference library, a database which houses copies of content that was given to the system by the owners. Whenever a piece of audio or video is uploaded to YouTube by users, that piece is checked against every file in the Reference library, looking for a match. Should one be found, a Usage Policy is carried out given the preference of the content owner. The three usage policies are Block, Track, and Monetize. A Block will render the uploaded video un-viewable. If Track is chosen, the video will be allowed for viewing on YouTube, with the owner receiving various statistics about it. Lastly, if Monetize is chosen, the video will be viewable but with ads running alongside of it. 5
In 2009, a string of tests which included various tweaks such as reverse playback, resampling, and amplification to the video, “I Know What Boys Like”, was conducted on the tool to gauge its effectiveness. While the Content ID tool was noted for its pervasiveness and ability to pick up various amplification changes, some uploads still managed to get by the tool. 78 That said, while the Content ID tool is effective in matching uploads to the Reference library, the tool is not perfect and is constantly fine-tuned to prevent user uploads from slipping past the system 5.

There is nothing specific about Youtube Advertising practices. This certainly should be done as advertising goes so far as to superimpose on Youtube videos. Consider that Google, when it started out, had a policy from its Originators for search that separated advertisement from search results. An explanation for the policy of mixing the two in Youtube and how this politically and economically came about would be appropriate and informative.
Also, the issue of advertising should be looked at from a historical perspective since the policies at Google seem to be shifting toward the mixing of the two, considering that Youtube didn't originally use to have superimposed advertising, and Google didn't used to have advertising at the top of search that looks very similar to its search results.
The fact is, the article is certainly incomplete without such information about advertising practices. 99.22.94.80 (talk) 08:37, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

I think it's an important part of YouTube's history when in 2010 they switched from the star rating system to a thumbs up/thumbs down and hid the video's rating from its thumbnail view. It could even be in the "criticisms of youtube" part since it allows people to get rick-roll'd easier or tricked into watching "Reply girls" videos since you can't see the actual video's rating before clicking on it. Their reasoning on changing the system is that most videos were either voted 1 or 5 stars, however I could find nothing on why they only display the rating until after you click on the video. According to the archive of screenshots, the change in rating system happened April 1, 2010. http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2009/09/five-stars-dominate-ratings.html http://wayback.archive.org/web/20100801000000*/http://youtube.com 99.130.105.51 (talk) 23:16, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

For the past few weeks I noticed there was a settings feature available under the videos on YouTube that allowed you to choose the resolution, and this generally went down to 240p. This allowed me to watch videos in real time, which was really nice. But today I logged in to YouTube and the option was gone; but now you can watch the video at different speeds. Also a nice feature, but I'd rather watch lower-resolution videos in real time than to watch a better resolution video at 25% speed. I wonder if there are any plans to restore the option to watch the lower resolution videos in the future. I think that a discussion of the video playback settings and features be appropriate to add to the Wikipedia article, if anyone has any expertise in that area.

Wiki EnglishThe title of the file Youtube Logo 2005.png is incorrect, as this version of the logo did not appear until October 2006.[26] The earliest YouTube page on the Wayback Machine is April 28, 2005. The main difference in the October 2006 version of the logo is the more pronounced use of a color gradient in the red of the word "Tube". In the earlier version, the shading of the red is more or less constant.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 07:44, 17 September 2012 (UTC)Wiki English
The article mentions that youtube is banned in Turkey. This is not the case any more, so I think that this part of the article should be corrected. Cheerio — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.197.12.237 (talk) 21:57, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
This edit was reverted, because it appears to be trying to make a point rather than reporting the facts. Every day, people upload videos with wacky political and religious views to YouTube, and the site has to determine whether they fall within the site's Community Guidelines. YouTube has stated that Innocence of Muslims does not violate its guidelines, but has withdrawn it in several countries. There are numerous pro-Islam videos on YouTube, and the ones by Anwar Al-Awlaki were a source of concern. The wording of the edit implied that YouTube was biased towards Islam, which is unlikely to be the case. If a video showing severed heads is on YouTube, it would violate the site's guidelines on shocking content, and could be flagged as abuse. YouTube videos are not checked individually before going online, so the presence of a video should not be taken as an endorsement by YouTube.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 05:39, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
This entry is completely lacking in this area. Google began using YouTube to track users in January of 2012 if I am not mistaken,plus they list all videos an individual has accessed as they tailor suggestions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.82.147.76 (talk) 19:34, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
I found the table to be wrong. Especially the audio bitrates are lower for certain formats. For instance this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JPf8-6u3NU
FMT 22:mp4[720x1280]
has audio AAC average 127 Kbps, maximum 152 Kbps
FMT 45:webm[720x1280]
has audio VORBIS 128 kbit
and not 192 kbit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.118.248.168 (talk) 13:25, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
Also, in table "Comparison of YouTube media encoding options", surely the video resolution for itag value 6 is 720p and not 270p. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.20.71.226 (talk) 01:06, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
MP4 480p is missing. --64.32.121.96 (talk) 03:11, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
Actually, IIRC, format 6 is indeed supposed to be 270 pixels in height (although there is no such standardized format as "270p", and incorrectly over-applying broadcast standards naming conventions for a non-television-centric video site seems... Completely daft, actually). However, the first person appears to be right about format 22 (720p MP4: h264/AAC) having an audio bitrate of ~128kbps -- every video I've checked was around there, none were near 192. Actually, I've even checked a few official (VEVO, etc.) HD music video uploads and even their 1080p MP4 (format 37) uploads STILL have an audio bitrate in that same region -- it appears that ~128 is where YouTube's AAC encoder is scripted to cap? (Have not compared any 3K/whatever videos; have never encountered any and didn't go looking.)
Conversely, it appears as if the WebM formats do indeed use 192kbps Vorbis on at least most (not necessarily all; I do seem to remember a video here or there having an audio stream at WP's stated 128kbps when in format 45, but I may be mistaken) videos of 720p or higher profiles. I'm assuming that YouTube doesn't bother holding onto the (usually much larger) original uploads, so my best guess is that when they initially added WebM support (and transcoded stuff from h264/AAC to fill in content; you'll notice there are webM versions of uploads from far before they added WebM), they set things to give them a similar (~128kbps) Vorbis audio bitrate to the original AAC, and then set all later uploads to encode the WebM 780p & up versions with 192kbps. --24.18.58.79 (talk) 10:12, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
UPDATE: An article indicating that the bitrates have been bumped for AAC repeatedly, and the most recent one (up to 192kbps) was only June '12, thus why many official videos that are still available in 1080p MP4 actually have lower audio bitrate than that. In which case, the listed chart is technically accurate to YouTube's current specifications for new content, just not representative of the entire content library already uploaded. --24.18.58.79 (talk) 14:14, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

There is no immediate instruction on the You Tube web page for using the controls. It's just a bunch of symbols. Since I must access the page over land lines, I have hit the wrong controls (more often since they were changed [Play Again appears to have vanished]) and so some instruction must be accessible somewhere.

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
There should be added to this page that even though 3succesful strikes against a YouTube-account do result in that account being terminated, it does not NECESSARILY result in the channel being suspended. There is a expiration-time consisting of 6months, if the user does not result any more copyright strike during this period of time. If the user is lucky enough to avoid a new strike within the next 6months, with other words, the previous strike(s) will be removed from the account. Its also as well worth to note that this only counts if the user has completed the copyright school on YouTube.

The dinner party and Janet Jackson Super Bowl explanations are both anecdotal, and are hard to fit in with other information. YouTube was not the first video sharing site, as Metacafe was launched in 2003, and Vimeo in 2004. The earliest known version of YouTube on the Wayback Machine shows that the site experimented with video dating before dropping the idea. Hot or Not has also been suggested as an influence on YouTube.[34] One of the problems with the Super Bowl theory is that it would involve a copyrighted clip from broadcast television, which members of the public would not be allowed to upload. The Time magazine article says "No company, of course, is ever founded in a single moment, and YouTube evolved over several months. Chad and Steve agree that Karim deserves credit for the early idea that became, in Steve's words, "the original goal that we were working toward in the very beginning": a video version of HOTorNOT.com."--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 05:39, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Re: this edit: YouTube did not attempt to sue YouTubeMP3.org. In June 2012, it sent a cease and desist letter threatening legal action if it did not comply within seven days.[35] At the time of writing, the site is still operational. YouTube's position is that if a video does not have a download button, it is a violation of the Terms of Service to download any part of it. It is something of a mystery why YouTubeMP3.org was targeted, because it is far from being the only third party tool that can download YouTube videos. This was not a frivolous lawsuit, because there was no lawsuit and YouTube has to protect the copyright of material on the site. Overall, this is not really notable enough for the article in its current form. If YouTube did succeed in taking the site offline through legal action, it would be worth mentioning.
The forum link here does not verify the claim that links were blocked in comments in 2007. URL linking in YouTube comment sections was banned a long time ago because of the large amount of spam abuse. It is unclear exactly when links were blocked, but it was some years ago. People often type things like address dot com to get round the block.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 12:08, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

"Copy debug info" on a YouTube Live video in the Flash player on Chrome reveals some "fmt=" codes that are probably extra itags. 240p is fmt=92, 360p is fmt=93. 480p is fmt=94, 720p is fmt=95.

Re this edit: one of the problems is that the source given is a market research company. The figure is plucked from the air with no methodology, eg how big was the sample, in what countries was the sample taken etc. Without this, it is hard to know how accurate it is. Market research, opinion polls etc are not generally a reliable source unless there is some methodology given. I have left it in the article with a qualification about the sourcing.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 14:48, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
