The very first YouTube video was uploaded on 23 April 2005.
We love seeing heart-warming videos during the lockdown, but where did it all start for YouTube?
YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim posted an 18-second video, ‘Me at the zoo’, in 2005 that was recorded by his high school friend.
The video has been viewed around 91-million times as of April 2020.

"Alright," Karim begins. "So here we are, in front of the elephants."
YouTube now has more than two-billion visitors each month and it all started with a video at the zoo.
You and I will be the next two people to view the momentous video!
