YouTube turns 20: Watch "Me at Zoo", the first video uploaded 20 years ago

The first video uploaded to YouTube, titled Me at the zoo, features co-founder Jawed Karim at the San Diego Zoo. Shared on April 23, 2005, the 19-second clip shows Karim standing in front of elephants, casually remarking on their “really, really, really long trunks.” This simple video marked the beginning of what would become the world’s largest video-sharing platform.
