Once we have registered our account on YouTube, we can start by accessing the option “What videos to watch”, What have been the videos recommended for us by our tastes. In the same way, you can find other music videos in the new tab “Song” that are within your reach.
On the other hand, if you intend to search for a video of a music or any other topic that is of your interest, you can also do it. For this, from the YouTube search engine, found at the top of the screen, enter the name of the song or the person who sings it and it will appear.
Once you have found all the available alternatives for the name you entered, select the one you think is the best for you. When you find the video you selected on the screen, you will have other options available for this video.
One of the alternatives that appears is, share a video with someone else, with whom just by selecting it, a window will appear, in which you can select another application to send the video. At the same time, you have the option of “Keep”, with which you can put the video in a favorites folder that you can create or place in “Watch later”.
Another feature made available by the YouTube platform is YouTube Shorts., which has not been fully updated worldwide. This is because it was launched as a beta stage in India in September 2020, with what you can upload videos of 15 O 60 seconds in app.
