When YouTube launched in 2005, no one could have predicted quite how influential the platform would be!
Today, YouTube is the second most popular website on the internet (the most popular being its parent company Google), and the YouTube app can be found on mobile phones, tablets, televisions, streaming devices, you name it!
Most WordPress content is still published on regular WordPress sites and blogs, of course; however, there’s also now a growing number of great YouTube channels focusing on WordPress as well — and videos are a great way of teaching others: whether via short video tutorials or long detailed walkthroughs for more complex topics.
In this article, we’ll be taking a look at over fifteen of the best (and most popular) WordPress-related YouTube channels around today.
Let’s dive in (listed in no particular order)…
WordPress.TV
Automattic publish presentations and tutorials from WordCamps on their website WordPress.tv.
The videos uploaded to the website are hosted with VideoPress, however they also upload WordCamp videos to their YouTube channel regularly; many of which cannot be found on their website. Since the videos are presentations, they tend to be between 15 and 45 minutes in length.
If you are looking to stay up to date with what is happening in the WordPress world and watch talks from important people in the industry, I recommend checking out WordPress.TV.
