Who uploaded the first video to YouTube?

The first video on YouTube, "Me at the zoo," was uploaded by Jawed Karim, one of YouTube's co-founders. Karim, along with his fellow co-founders Steve Chen and Chad Hurley, created YouTube as a platform for users to share and discover videos online.

Karim, Chen, and Hurley were inspired to create YouTube after struggling to find and share videos of a dinner party they had attended. They saw an opportunity to create a platform that would make it easy for users to upload, share, and discover videos, regardless of their location or background.

The first video on YouTube, featuring Karim at the San Diego Zoo, was an early demonstration of the platform's capabilities and a testament to its simple, user-generated origins. Over time, YouTube has grown to host billions of videos, attracting millions of users and content creators from around the world.
