The different types of YouTube Videos - collab channels

Hey guys! Today I'll be talking about one last type of video on YouTube - collabs!
Collab videos are shared between two or more people. Lots of YouTubers love to invite guests (some of them being other popular YouTubers) on their channel to be present in one of their videos. Together, they could do any video they would like: the topics are endless! When I watch YouTube collab videos, the two YouTubers tend to do exciting challenges together like the Chubby Bunny Challenge, the 7 Second Challenge, the Cotton Ball Challenge, the Whisper Challenge, or the Best Friend/Boyfriend Tag. I love watching these types of videos because they're very funny and entertaining.











One of my favourite challenge videos was the "Stuff Your Mouth" challenge by Zoella and Thatcher Joe (whom I've mentioned in one of my previous blog posts). In my opinion, the video is hilarious - it made me cry because I was laughing so hard. Their video currently has 4,036,815 views! Here's the video clip if you'd like to watch it:
Have you ever heard of collab channels? A collab channel is a channel on YouTube that is shared between roughly 5 members. Each person has an assigned day of the week where they post one video ever week on that day. Which means, by the end of each week, there would be 5 new videos on the channel. I believe a lot of people like collab channels for that reason: they're always able to watch new content within a short period of time. One of the collab channels I used to watch very often was Our2ndlife's channel, which consisted of Kian Lawley, JC Caylen, Trevor Moran, Sam Potorff, and Ricky Dillon (Connor Franta and Ricardo Ordieres are past members of the O2L family). They have recently decided to stop making new videos on the Our Second Life channel because their lives are becoming busier. Although, all of their past videos are still available to watch on their channel. Here's a link to their channel if you'd like to check out some of their old videos :

  1. I love this blog post Kimberlee! I also love the stuff your mouth challenge. I tried it with my brother and it was so much fun. I almost got abs from laughing. Collaboration videos are the best. I mean having two or more of your favorite youtubers in the same room is just amazing! Love your posts, keep up the great work!
