Yahoo Video is Yahoo's answer to YouTube and other similar video-hosting services. Users can search and watch a variety of clips, along with some commercial content from partners. They also can upload their own content and give it tags to help others sort through it. Users don't need to install anything special on their computers to play the videos, only a browser plug-in.

Similar to other modern day video services, any video on Yahoo Video can be embedded elsewhere on blogs, Web sites, and social-networking profiles. When users get to the end of a clip, they also can see related videos, along with links for sharing through e-mail and Yahoo Messenger.
