How are videos featured on YouTube

Ok, so one of my Videos is featured? How did this happen and where does it show others that my Vid is featured ?



YouTube has different methods of choosing featured video. Sometimes they'll have "guest representatives" doing the choosing. Sometimes they're chosen by YouTube's editors (via messages to editor@youtube.com). Other times, it's just because someone at YouTube just really likes the video, and yet other times, they're themed picks, or related to current events. There's really no way to tell what is going to be next.

Congratulations, though. Featured videos generally get TONS of views.

If you go to your YouTube home page (http://www.youtube.com/), and you ahve it set up to show the featured videos module, you can see the current features there.

Oh, and if the content is entirely your own, you have a pretty good chance of making partner if you've been featured and apply.

Youtube randomly features videos. It shows on either the homepage or under related videos
