YouTube is a website owned by Google that lets you upload videos of whatever you like.

While most people absolutely despise it, there is no other real alternative. Good ol' monopolies.

As a result, most Tennis is uploaded there.

History

YouTube started in 2005, with the legendary "me at the zoo".

The first tennis video was uploaded to youtube in 2007.

Usage

Hopefully you know how to use YouTube if you're on a wiki like this, but for the chance you don't, here's the run-down.

Making an Account

As soon as you make a Google account, it creates a YouTube account automatically.

Brand Accounts

Brand accounts let you make separate accounts under the same email. This is useful for alts, or even just starting over.

Uploading Works

As of 2025, to upload a video to YouTube, click on the "Create" button in the top right corner, then "video", then drag and drop your video into the box. From there you can add a description, tags, the thumbnail, etc. YouTube will then check to make sure your video doesn't contain anything it doesn't like, and if all is good you are given the option to publish. Once published, congratulations! Your video is on the web.

Managing Matches

It's best to keep your matches in playlists so you and others can find them (and watch them all at once!). Another option is to compile all of the rounds into a single video; this may take an little extra time but it prevents the possibility of rounds being lost (unless you remove your own copies, including the compilation).
