Where YouTube fits
Use it when following tutorials or sharing a finished video with an audience.
Check before you choose
Review visibility, copyright and comment settings before publishing your own material.
Find the right edition
Start with the destination for your device or the publisher's website. Use the current requirements and terms there to confirm the edition you need.
Compare the workflow
Regional rights and device support determine what a streaming service can provide. A personal media server is a different choice from a subscription catalog, and a free app does not mean every title is included.
