First-Ever YouTube Video 'Me at the Zoo' Was Posted on April 23, 2005 by Jawed Karim, Making Him the First YouTuber! (Watch)

Back in 2005, three friends named Jawed Karim (he's in the video), Chad Hurley, and Steve Chen created a video titled 'Me at the Zoo'. It was uploaded to YouTube on April 23, 2005, making it the very first ever video to be posted on the site. Who would've thought that this simple 18-second clip would become such a big deal? The video shows YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim standing near an elephant pen at the San Diego Zoo. In the raw footage, filmed on Jawed Karim's friend’s camera, Karim talks about the elephants, describing their trunks. Along with Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, the trio uploaded the video to a budding platform at the time called YouTube. And the rest, as they say, is history. This video was a game-changer in how people shared and uploaded content like videos and posts online. It kind of paved the way for everyone to tell their own tales on the internet, just like we do now. YouTube's First Video: Watch 17-Year-Old Clip First Uploaded On Video Sharing Social Media Platform That Leaves Netizens Feeling Nostalgic.
