YouTube is an American video-sharing website headquartered in San Bruno, California. The company was founded in 2005 by Steve Chen, Chad Hurley and Jawed Karim.
The Sonic the Hedgehog series debuted their official channels on the website in the early 2010s. Sega and Sonic Team have since produced various animations for the site ever since alongside using the channels to announce upcoming projects or post miscellaneous side content such as music, interviews, and memes.
