# Bright Video

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What is Bright video?">
    Bright Video is a new way for YouTube creators to create additional revenue from their videos, by featuring it on SmartTV platforms. In a nutshell, your YouTube videos will automatically be available inside apps on most SmartTV platforms (Android, Apple TV, LG, Samsung, etc.).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="But YouTube exists. Why is this a good idea?">
    YouTube will never be replaced. This is a way to capture more audiences; many smart TV users look for apps on the TVs App Store, but at this point TV App Store do not include many apps… Try searching for “Guitar TV” or “ASMR TV”; there are literally no such apps. This makes it easy to stand out and be discovered. Make sure you enjoy the first movie vantage.!
