How to navigate YouTube

 Here’s a clear guide to navigating YouTube efficiently:

---

1. Home Page

• Shows recommended videos based on your watch history.

• Use this to discover new content, but it can be overwhelming — scroll mindfully.

---

2. Search Bar

• Type keywords to find specific videos, channels, or playlists.

• Use filters (click Filters after searching) to narrow by upload date, type, duration, or features.

---

3. Subscriptions

• Shows the latest videos from channels you subscribe to.

• This is great to keep up with creators you like without relying on the algorithm.

---

4. Library

• Includes Watch Later, History, and your own uploads/playlists.

• Helps you organize content and revisit videos.

---

5. Playlists

• You can group videos by topic.

• Makes it easier to binge content or save tutorials for later.

---

6. Notifications (bell icon)

• Turn on notifications for channels you don’t want to miss.

• Avoid overloading yourself — choose only your favorites.

---

7. Engagement

• Like 👍, dislike 👎, comment, and share to interact and personalize recommendations.

• Using “Not interested” helps the algorithm learn your taste.

---

8. Shorts

• Vertical, quick videos — like TikTok.

• Great for snacks of content, but can be addictive!

---

9. Settings

• Adjust autoplay, playback speed, subtitles, and dark mode.

• You can also manage privacy and watch history here.

💡 Pro tip: Create custom playlists and use “Watch Later” to avoid endless scrolling and stay organized.
