The agreements will bring the 90-minute environmental film Home to the site in English, French, German and Spanish and will also bring four short films from the Tribeca Film Festival this week.
YouTube remains by far the most popular video sharing site, with almost 90 million unique users in February, higher than Yahoo and Hulu combined.
Because of the site’s push for longer form videos, the amount of time spent watching videos in February was boosted by 23 percent year-on-year and the average video length increased 22 percent.
