Video Blog. One type of YouTube video rapidly increasing in popularity is the video blog. Over the past few years, the popularity of blogging skyrocketed. Blogging traditionally involves writing daily posts about your personal life or your work adventures. Recently, many video lovers have started to create video blogs. Instead of writing down their words online, they are talking into a camera and posting the video for the entire world to see. While it may seem awkward to watch a video blog made by someone you have never met before, you may find video blogs to be quite entertaining. In fact, many video blog viewers have never met the blogger in question and many have no intention of ever doing so; they just like watching their videos.

Video Comedy. Another one of the most popular types of YouTube videos are those centered on comedy available for viewing on YouTube. Some YouTube members create comedy skits, ones that are staged. There are some YouTube members who happen to get candid videos. Candid videos are videos where the people in the video, often acquaintances, do no know they are being video tapped. There are also YouTube comedy videos in combination of staged and candid videos. These types of comedy videos often revolve around people who know they are being video taped, but just going with the flow of things. Anyway you look at it, comedy videos are very popular on YouTube.

Video Music. Music videos are available for viewing on YouTube. For the most part, music videos on YouTube are videos local bands or musicians made themselves. Due to copyright issues, it is rare to find a music video from a well-known band or signer; however, YouTube is currently taking steps to change that. Even though the selection of music videos on YouTube is sort of limited to up and coming artists, you may enjoy watching many of the music videos currently available on YouTube. You can easily find a wide variety of different YouTube music videos, many of which are from different music genres.

Educational Videos or How-to Videos. These are also very popular on YouTube. You will find educational videos include how-to videos, but there are other educational videos available. For instance, if you are looking for videos dealing with pets, you may be able to find a few educational videos outlining the importance of properly caring for your pet. A real how-to video would outline steps you could take to properly care for your pet. Educational videos, although they cover a wide range of different subjects, have one common goal, to educate you.

As you can see, there are a large number of video types to be found on YouTube. What is absolutely amazing is the previously mentioned video types are just a few of the many you can find on YouTube.
