You have a question – this is where you can see an answer. For instance, here’s the Eldergym Senior Fitness channel on how to get up from or get down to the floor.

The benefits seniors can reap from browsing the right YouTube channels are numerous. So let’s begin with the basics of YouTube.

How to Find Videos on YouTube? 

It is as simple as searching for something on Google. Just type what you are looking for in the search bar in the YouTube app or website - for instance, “Kishor Kumar songs” and videos that match your search query will appear in a list. 

To watch, click any video in the list and it will play automatically. You can click like or dislike, or enter a comment below the video. 

If you like a particular channel of videos created by a user, you can ‘subscribe’ to that channel and receive notifications from your favorite channels by clicking on the bell icon on the top right-hand side.

Types of Videos on YouTube
