Video+media

As hardware capabilities increase along with the Internet, more people are able to digitally record something (often themselves) to use as new new media. Websites such as YouTube greatly facilitates this process by providing a place for users to store and share their videos, although other types of video media do not use YouTube.

Vlogs can be used to share ideas with others in a video format. A vlog is a video blog. A blog is generally typed with pictures sometimes inserted into the text. Blogs can be commented on with text as well. In contrast, a vlog is a video that can include simply one person talking in front of a camera or it can include different camera angles and shots, photos, music, and other video clips. Vlogs can be commented on with typed text like commenting on a blog, or they can be commented on with the creation of another vlog. Someone else can remix a vlog that a person made. In that way, vlogs can be more interactive than blogs.

Screencasts are videos that show the movements that someone makes on a computer screen along with audio that the person says as they are demonstrating something on the screen. The person may or may not add a video of themselves talking to the screencast. Screencasts are very useful for demonstrating how to do something. Being able to see someone's computer screen as they walk through something step by step and being able to hear their voice explaining things can really help to get the point across in an efficient and easy to understand manner.

Video can also be used synchronously to interact with people. The advantage to video chats over regular chats is that it allows participants to see each other's body language, although this is often delayed and not as easy to discern as it is in face-to-face conversations. Several people also report that it makes them feel more relaxed to see the person they are talking too, although some may feel uncomfortable since they are losing much of the anonymity that is offered by the Internet.
 * Video chat**

One of the most well-known examples of a video chatting program is Skype, although most chatting platforms (such as MSN Messenger and Facebook chat) have also incorporated video chat. These services are designed for one-to-one interaction. Google+ offers a feature known as Hangout that allows multiple people to chat at one time, although too many participants can cause problems. Some programs offer more options. For example, Wimba Classroom is designed for conducting a class online. Along with the video chat option, participants can use an Eboard together, show parts of their screen, and even allow others to access their computer remotely.
