General Questions

There are software tutorials posted on all major video streaming sites. Why should I purchase tutorials from the Youtorial Market?top

The experience of watching a youtorial is unparalleled. If you want to get the kind of personal coaching that can only be matched by expensive live training, you need to try the Youtorial Market!

We ensure that all content meets certain standards. All tutorials on the Youtorial Market are reviewed for specific guidelines that ensure each tutorial follows the Youtorial format:

• The trainer will expect you to follow along with the tutorial, meaning you will be hands on with the application you wish to learn about. The Desktop Overlay player is built specifically to allow you to easily follow along.

• All youtorials have a Table of Contents so you can easily navigate to sections you are looking for.

• Tutorials will pause automatically when a user is required to complete an action. In this way, the student can focus on completing the necessary actions, rather than anticipating when to pause and rewind the video.
