Winners have emerged in the YouTube Sub-Sahara Africa Creator Awards 2016, to celebrate the incredible creativity and talent on YouTube from across the continent.
According to Youtube:
“YouTube is about the opportunity for people to express themselves. Creators across Africa are using YouTube to find their voice, connect with audiences around the world and build channels while earning revenue from it.
The number of hours of video content in Africa being uploaded has doubled year over year for the past two years. And the audience has grown with it. Watchtime on mobile phones is growing 120% year over year. The cost of data and the processing speed of many phones in Africa often make it challenging to enjoy watching video online.
A year ago we rolled out YouTube Offline, which helps you enjoy a smooth, buffer-free version of YouTube during periods of low to no connectivity. And we’re working on more ways to help you deal with data cost and connectivity difficulties.”
