Modern technology allows many

The YouTube video portal is not just about playing videos, as one might think. The logic of the matter makes it clear that it is also the uploading of multimedia files. Thanks to modern technology, all sorts of formats are allowed, from AVI, MP4, MOV, MKV to DivX, FLV and others. Authors do not have to limit themselves significantly. In addition, videos can be public, but also private within different projects or shared with a limited group of people.

Among other things, YouTube supports 3D video upload and, as of 2015, 360-degree videos. You can then view such footage from virtually all sides. The emphasis is also on the quality of the videos themselves. This starts from 240p and can reach 8K quality from 2015, which will of course continue to grow with new technologies. With the help of this server, live streams or live broadcasts can also be realized.
