Web 2.0 technologies have led to the development of social media platforms that enable users to produce and share their own content. YouTube is such a platform where people can deliver their video clips as well as watch and interpret what others have developed. This study aimed to reach the opinions of the computer engineering students about their YouTube usage profiles and the educational use of the videos published in YouTube. It was designed as a survey research. The sample included 100 undergraduate students from a state university in Turkey. According to the findings, most of the participants access the internet primarily from smart phone and interact with the internet for an average of 6.4 hours a day. The participants stated that YouTube was the most used social media (72%), they subscribed to channels that produce educational content (84%) and watched educational videos (99%). They use YouTube mostly for entertainment (84%) and academic (67%) purposes. They believe that YouTube videos have educational functions such as repetition, compensation, individual learning opportunities, and preparation for exams. No significant differences were found in students' views according to gender and grade level. [For the full proceedings, see ED623149.]
