A YouTube Space is the name given to virtual and pop-up events designed to aid content creators hosted by the American video hosting platform YouTube.[1]
Originally, YouTube Spaces were physical locations provided by YouTube for content creators to learn about producing content as well as providing them with facilities to create content for their YouTube channels.[2] For eligible content creators, YouTube Spaces were completely free to use and including the use of equipment, studio space, postproduction facilities, trainings and workshops provided by YouTube. There were ten physical YouTube Spaces around the world.[3] The first YouTube space was opened at Google's London Kings Cross offices in 2012.[4] These physical locations closed temporarily 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, however, on 18 February 2021, YouTube chief business officer Robert Kyncl announced that the physical YouTube spaces in Berlin, London, Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, and Tokyo would remain closed permanently.[1][5][6] Physical YouTube spaces remain open in São Paulo, Mumbai, and Dubai.[7]
