Over 600,000 views: The BYU Family History Library YouTube Channel

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7hqNOQt-2AfeVEpDuc7sCA/videos
We have had over 600,000 views on the Brigham Young University Family History Library YouTube Channel. That may seem insignificant when some YouTube videos are racking up that many views in a day, but for us, it is another milestone. There are now 423 videos on a huge variety of subjects for free on this very active channel. For example, 12 new videos have been uploaded in the last month. The most popular video on the Channel has over 44 thousand views. We are slowly converting our presentations to video format and away from presentation software such as PowerPoint to increase the usefulness of the information presented. You can see a good example of the transition on this video:

Come Follow Me Companion by Ann Tanner

We encourage all who view the videos to subscribe to the Channel by clicking on the subscribe button. You might also like to know that the videos are also organized and available on the BYU Family History Library Website. Here is a screenshot and a link. The benefit of using the videos on the BYU website is that they are viewable in the chapels of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when YouTube videos are blocked.
