- Twitch.
- Thinkific.
- Vimeo.
- DailyMotion.
- Vevo.
- Metacafe.
YouTube is the second most visited website, with more than one billion monthly users who collectively watch more than one billion hours of videos each day.
Google bought the site in November 2006 for US$1.65 billion; YouTube now operates as one of Google’s subsidiaries.
