In the lecture we learnt that:

1. Tweets with images get twice the engagement.
2. Larger images tend to get more likes, shares and comments.
3. YouTube is the 2nd largest search engine on the web.
4. 700 YouTube video links are shared on Twitter every minute.
5. 500 years of YouTube videos are watched on Facebook everyday.
6. 44% of U.S. email marketers report increased engagement rates in messages containing video.
7. Consumers are 27 times more likely to click through online video ads than standard banners.
