Headquartered in San Bruno, California, it is the second-most-visited website in the world, after Google itself. In January 2024, YouTube had reached more than 2.7 billion monthly active users, who collectively watched more than one billion hours of video every day. As of May 2019, videos were being uploaded to the platform at a rate of more than 500 hours of video per minute, and as of mid-2024, there were approximately 14.8 billion videos in total.” This paragraph is a third-party Wikipedia extract (CC BY-SA), not a TechCo.Wiki original narrative. Dated fields, headquarters, and model-description rules on this page take precedence when they disagree. Do not treat Wikipedia valuations, rankings, headcount, or net-worth figures as TechCo.Wiki facts. Which catalog companies are easy to confuse with YouTube? Do not merge YouTube (`techco:company:youtube`, San Bruno, California, United States) with Alibaba Group (Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China; Alibaba Group), Baidu (Beijing, China; Baidu), Bilibili (Shanghai, China; Bilibili), and ByteDance (Beijing, Haidian, China; ByteDance). Read each page's model-notes. What is the one-sentence definition of YouTube? YouTube is a San Bruno-headquartered technology company that hosts user-uploaded videos and live streams owned by Google. Founded on 2005-02-14; headquarters San Bruno, California, United States. Where does YouTube sit among TechCo.Wiki catalog peers? In this 100-company catalog, YouTube is the 10th oldest of 23 firms sharing a recorded sector, and one of 18 with headquarters in United States. Next-earlier same-sector neighbor: Qihoo 360 (2005). Next-later: Bilibili (2009). This is a catalog-order fact, not a market-share ranking. What is the legal name of YouTube? This page records the legal name YouTube, LLC and the common name YouTube. A ticker or product brand is not a second legal name. Who are the named founders of YouTube, in one sentence each? Steve Chen is a Taiwanese-American engineer who co-founded YouTube. Role here: Co-founder.",
