In the past decade, Internet platforms have undergone a steady and rapid growth. Within this context, their use by young people becomes significative. YouTube is not the exception to this phenomenon, furthermore, it has gained relevance both in quantitative and qualitative terms, that is, in the number of subscribers and visualizations, as well as in the variety of content that it offers. Thus, in order to widen the horizon and understand how young people experience the world, and based on the assumption that platforms are key spaces for this purpose, this work presents a literature review where the most relevant contributions regarding YouTube and its relation to the teaching and learning practices are collected. Finally, based on the vacancies we have identified, we present some considerations that stem from this analysis and offer some possible future lines of investigation. Keywords: Teaching, Learning, YouTube, Online Audiovisual Content. 1 Introduction Given the massive popularity of the Internet, the production of knowledge and its modes of circulation and consumption, along with the media in which it is objectified, are showing evidence of transformation [1]. These modes cause tension, not only in the process of production, but also in the modern institutions, which have historically been in charge of (re)producing it.
