Over 3 million views on the LibreOffice YouTube channel!
Yes, our YouTube channel has just gone over the 3 million views mark. Great stuff! We’d like to say a special thanks to community members who’ve contributed great work, such as the Indonesian community for the “New Features” videos (major LibreOffice releases), and Harald B. in the German community for his tutorials. (Note that many of the videos are also available on PeerTube.)
So, what are the top five most-viewed videos? Here they are…
- LibreOffice 6.0: New Features – 247,948 views
- This is LibreOffice – 208,359 views
- LibreOffice 7.3: New Features – 198,070 views
- LibreOffice 7.0: New Features – 163,217 views
- LibreOffice 6.2: New Features – 126,411 views
I would have expected much more than that honestly, LibreOffice 6.0 was release in January 2018, so over 5 years ago now. So let’s assume on average 600,000 views per year or between 10 to 12,000 weekly.
Relatively popular shows on YouTube would be getting in the millions of hits weekly. Perhaps there needs to be content such as beginner focused tutorials, getting started guided, maybe a video ‘podcast.’
Indeed, it would be great to have more beginner-focused content! Of course, we’re a volunteer-driven project with very limited resources, doing all we can in the meantime – so more help to produce videos would be very welcome 😊
