When you want to watch free videos online, you might immediately think of YouTube, which offers a huge variety of videos, but there are plenty of other websites that offer free videos. You can find them everywhere; you just have to know where to look.

This includes professionally produced online videos that are targeted to specific audiences, user-generated video clips, and webcasts of TV shows and movies. You may be required to enter an email address to open an account on a website, but be wary of sites that ask for your credit card information.

Many new and older TV shows are available online through network websites or video aggregators.

You can watch free videos online from educational networks such as National Geographic. Other websites, such as the Annenberg Foundation, offer educational videos produced specifically for the web.
