In the class, you learned essential techniques for effectively navigating YouTube to find videos that interest you.

Finding Relevant Videos

Use Specific Keywords: Think about what you want to find and use clear, specific words or phrases. For example, instead of searching for "cooking," try "easy Italian recipes."
Quotation Marks for Exact Phrases: If you're looking for an exact phrase, put it in quotation marks, e.g., "how to knit a scarf."
Use Descriptive Terms: Add descriptive terms to your search to narrow down the results. For instance, "senior-friendly exercise videos" can yield more relevant content for older adults.

Advanced Filters

Upload Date: Filter videos by how recently they were uploaded (e.g., today, this week, this month) to find the most current content.
View Count: Use this filter to find popular videos with many views, which can indicate high-quality or widely appreciated content.
Duration: Choose video length (e.g., short videos under 4 minutes or long videos over 20 minutes) to fit your available time.
Type: Use filters for specific content types such as channels, playlists, or individual videos to refine your search further.

Subscribing to Channels

Stay Updated: Subscribing to channels ensures you receive notifications of new uploads, so you never miss out on content from your favorite creators.
Organize Your Subscriptions: Manage your subscriptions by categorizing channels into different topics or interests, such as “fitness,” “cooking,” or “technology tips.”
Engage with the Community: Subscribing allows you to engage with the content creator and community by commenting on videos and participating in discussions.
