Definition
A video that remains relevant, discoverable, and valuable to viewers indefinitely — regardless of when it was published — because its subject matter addresses timeless questions, skills, or concepts rather than time-sensitive news or trends. Evergreen videos are the most valuable assets in a YouTube creator's library because they continue to generate views, watch time, and revenue years after publication through search discovery. Tutorial videos, how-to guides, product reviews of enduring products, and foundational educational content are typical evergreen video formats.
