YouTube Space
YouTube Space is a physical location made by YouTube for content creators, that is present in a few cities around the world, including Los Angeles and London. It is used by content creators to learn about producing content as well as providing them with facilities to create content for their YouTube channels.[1] YouTube Space is completely free to use and YouTube provides equipment, studio space, post production facilities and trainings and workshops. Content creators, however must hire their own film crew if they wish to do so.[2] There are currently ten YouTube Spaces around the world.[3]
