Type of video format allowed includes .AVI, .MOV and .MPG formats, which enough to cover most if not all video files generated from digital cameras and mobile phones. The maximum file size of a video is limit to 100 MB though.

Once the video is in YouTube, it may be tagged with keywords to allow other people to find the video through the tags. The video will also be arranged according to related channels.
