In another video, the same woman, named Un A, is wearing a tracksuit and sneakers as she jogs along the capital's Taedong River on her day off. "Today I'm going to show you what Korean people do in their free time, OK?" she says. "I would say the most popular way of spending time for us is doing sports ... like basketball, volleyball, table tennis."

One thing we have loved about Google and its platforms is that they always remain transparent about what people are searching on it. This does not mean that the data is shown in real-time but the fact that this data is shared is great for marketers who are looking to target people based on the same. One thing to note is that Google, along with YouTube shares insight into how people are using the platform and what they are searching for. As we all know, a pandemic is going on right now meaning that the search trends will be greatly influenced and we also want to know what people are searching. And we are happy to report that YouTube’s report has been published which highlights that trends of searchers show everything people have watched on YouTube such as learning skills and improving their wellbeing. One trend that everyone knows was trending on YouTube was that of dalgona coffee and we are sure that you must have tried it as well just as we did.

(Image: Shutterstock) Game streaming has rapidly become one of the more popular ways to make money on the internet. However, it’s hard to know where to start. Amazon-owned Twitch dominates the market, so there are few legitimate alternatives. In late July, Microsoft’s Mixer shut down, making YouTube Gaming one of the only viable options.  If you want to give it a try, this guide will show how to set up your channel and get on camera.Set Up Your ChannelYouTube Gaming has taken a few different forms over the years, but most recently it lives as an alternate tab in the usual YouTube interface. For our purposes, that means you don’t need to download any special apps to stream. If you have a YouTube account (which is tied to your Google account), then you already have everything you need. However, you’ll need to verify your account before you can get started. Head to this link while you’re logged in. You’ll be asked to enter a code sent via text message or, if you prefer, via a phone call. Enter this code and your account will be verified. In addition to enabling live streaming, this will also allow you to upload videos longer than 15 minutes, add custom thumbnails to your videos, and appeal Content ID claims if necessary.Set Up Your BroadcastNext, you’ll need to get your broadcast software set up.

Toei Animation, Kodansha and other anime content providers have banded together to start a channel on YouTube. The goal is to have 30 companies providing 3,000 anime titles by 2022, with the number of views per month reaching 300 million. Called Animelog, or Anilog, the channel was launched Friday by Analyzelog, a company that supports corporate digital strategies. The target audience for the channel is currently local, but there are also plans to add sub-titled content in English and Chinese for overseas fans. Content at launch includes: the “Black Jack” series, based on a famous Osama Tezuka manga, and which was aired in the 2000s by Yomiuri TV; and “Future Boy Conan,” a 1978 anime co-directed by Hayao Miyazaki, and produced by Nippon Animation. Several Japanese companies such as Kadokawa (publishing) and Toei Animation (anime production) now operate their own anime channels on YouTube. But the partners argue that, by joining forces, they can grow their audience, and advertising revenues, more quickly than they could individually. According to the Association of Japanese Animations’ survey for 2019, the industry enjoyed record growth for the sixth straight year, with earnings totalling $20 billion. Streaming grew 10%. “There exists a problem of illegal video distribution service these days, but “AnimeLog” will distribute only officially-licensed animations and operate as a safe channel that families can enjoy together,” said Analyzelog in a statement. Analyzelog was formed in 2018 with seed capital backing from U.S. venture investor “Next10 Ventures” and its founder Benjamin Grubbs. It has since struck numerous business and investment alliances with companies including Toei Animation (December 2019), Shogakukan (April 2020), and last month with animation studio Shin Ei Animation (“Doraemon,” “Crayon Shin Chan”).

Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar on Tuesday launched the National Cooperative Development Corporation's YouTube channel, 'Sahakar Cooptube NCDC India', to encourage farmers and the youth to take benefit of cooperatives. He also released videos on formation and registration of cooperatives for 18 states in Hindi and regional languages. The videos will be aired on the new channel. "Cooperatives are part of our culture. Through this channel, our effort should be to facilitate involvement of the youth in the cooperative movement," Tomar said after the launch. Formation of new cooperatives is a prerequisite for bringing new life and dedication in the realm of the cooperative movement, he said.

Further, the minister said NCDC as an apex-level statutory institution under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare has achieved tremendous success with a cumulative financial assistance to cooperatives to the tune of Rs 1,54,000 crore. Beginning with a disbursement of Rs 2.36 crore in 1963, NCDC disbursed around Rs 28,000 crore during 2019-20, he said. According to the government, cooperatives in India have come a long way and have proven their success in improving the condition of farmers and economic development. Largely as associations of small and marginal farmers and the rural poor, the cooperatives have acquired a huge network of over 8.50 lakh organisations and 290 million members.
