Yahoo! Video is a Yahoo! website dedicated to video. It is similar to sites like YouTube, MySpaceTV, MSN Video and Veoh.
Yahoo! Video began as an internet-wide video search engine and added the ability to upload and share video clips in June 2006. A re-designed site was launched in February 2008 that changed the focus to Yahoo-hosted video only. The site now consolidates all premium video from across Yahoo! properties with user-uploaded video.
The free service provides users with a means to search and play videos, save videos to their 'favorites', subscribe to channels, create playlists, and embed videos in web pages and blog posts. The homepage contains editorially-featured videos that change daily and skew towards comedy, viral videos, talented users, odd stuff, animation, and premium entertainment content.
