I was wondering how many of you have a YouTube channel? And what you watch on them? My friend's daughter was showing me a video of Kinder egg 'unboxing' (a new trend apparently) which she found riveting and I found quite odd!

I should really phone my daughter as this was one of her jobs with Deloitte.
It’s to do with copyright and royalties. You were playing music to the public. You had no right to do that without paying royalties.
Any shop that you go into that is playing music will be paying royalties. This is paid as a licence
In our charity shop we play the radio but have to pay a license fee to do this. www.google.co.uk/search?q=why+do+you+have+to+pay+to+play+the+radio+in+a+charity+shop&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-gb&client=safari

If you have a Smart tv you will have a YouTube channel.

How can you find this?

So I’m assuming you have a SMART tv, yes?
On your remote press the Home button. There you will see APPS, press that. A screen should come up with all the Apps.
YouTube, iPlayer, itv hub, amazon prime Netflix etc.
Don’t be worried, you can’t break anything ?

If you have any problems YouTube is your fried. Of course you will have to access this on your tablet or laptop.
Just search how to access YouTube on your particular tv.

I don't have a YouTube channel in that I don't upload videos (lead a boring life!)

But I am eternally grateful to the lovely people who upload British TV programmes which I can't otherwise get, as I don't live in the UK.

They are also very quick - for example, University Challenge is up on YouTube within half an hour of its being broadcast. The grateful comments underneath come from all over the world.

Thanks for the link. I still don't understand how there are so many thousands of music videos on You Tube but then I'm no expert on how to post on You Tube!

You tube has shown me how to mend my dyson, how to draw a dragon and how to pot on an orchid amongst all sorts of useful things.

Through YouTube I have learnt -

How to joint a chicken

How to make sourdough bread

How do do exercises for plantar fasciitis

How to help a bitch whelp, and look after her puppies.

I learnt how to retune my Smart TV when the programmes had changed and the TV manual didn't make sense.

...which targeted exercises to do for arthritis in my hip when the ones set by the physio were not helpful.

...how to sex newborn kittens.

.... and probably many other things.

I drop in now and then on the Steamtime live channels. I watch the planes taking off and landing at Lake Hood in Alaska, also the Grand Canal in Venice.

Dave's walks is relaxing. I watched one in the Lake Distric and one on Hadrian's wall.

There are some really good classic al music recordings on YouTube too. I intend watching Nabucco at some time in the near future.

Crochet tutorials are always very useful.

I don't have my own channel. I'm not interesting enough.

I watch exercises, listen to storytelling channels, bigfoot stories, classics and some recipe channels.
