Until now, YouTube only allowed text from users to be added in their Help Center. Being the video sharing site, this was not the best way for users to give their input and help out others. To make the YouTube Help Center more effective, the video sharing site is now allowing its users to make use of their creativity and make such videos which are helpful for others and can be embedded in the Help Center.

If your video is selected, the probability that users will watch your video will increase and it might be seen by most of the 1M plus users, who visit the Help Center every day. To participate, you have to first select one of the topics from the Help Center on which you would like to make a video. Next you will need to upload the video on your YouTube account and afterwards you can submit it through YouTube Help page.

Following are complete steps for participation as described by the YouTube.

Decide which Help Center entries you’d like to make an original video about:

• Captions / Subtitles definition
• Editing my video
• Make a playlist
• How to upload
• Customizing channels
• Contact lists
• Transferring from camera to computer
• Add/Change Profile Picture
• Viewing Higher Quality Videos
• Video annotations definition

Upload your video to your YouTube account, then submit it through this page.
Here are a few tips to help you along the way:

• Keep it brief (1-2 minutes is perfect)
• Be creative, clear and 100% original
• Stay on topic (only submissions which address the Help Center entries included in the list above will be accepted)
• Keep our Terms of Use and Community Guidelines in mind
• Have fun with it

You can submit these videos till October 10, 2008.
