YouTube says that, on average, more than 20 million videos are uploaded each day. That figure is repeated in YouTube’s press materials and recent coverage of the platform’s 20th anniversary.

Quick Scoop

If you want the simplest estimate, use 20+ million videos per day.

Some third-party articles quote lower or higher ranges, but YouTube’s own stated average is the clearest number here.

In context

That works out to roughly:

  • Over 833,000 videos per hour.
  • Over 13,000 videos per minute.
  • Over 200 videos per second.

Those are rough conversions from the daily average YouTube gives.

TL;DR

The best current answer is: more than 20 million videos are uploaded to YouTube every day.
