VidRand is a free web app for discovering new YouTube videos and channels. You choose three interests and a video length, and it returns three randomly-selected, embeddable videos that match.

How does VidRand pick videos?

VidRand searches YouTube for your chosen interests and length, then shuffles the candidates and picks three at random. The same selections produce different results each time — that randomness is the point.

Yes. VidRand is completely free to use. There are no accounts, no sign-up, and no tracking of personal information.

Can I control how long the videos are?

Yes. You can choose Short (under 4 minutes), Medium (4 to 20 minutes), or Long (over 20 minutes) before searching.
