The LDS Church has a growing collection of videos for youth. They are available on the LDS Youth website, but sometimes it's challenging to find just the one you want.
Now there's an easier way. Recently the church created a Mormon Messages for Youth YouTube channel. There's also Mormon Channel with videos for all ages. These channels provides a simple way to view and share these wonderful videos.
These videos could enhance a Sunday class, youth activity, fireside, or family home evening.

How can you show a video at church?
In church buildings with good Wi-Fi it's possible to stream content from the internet so you should be able to show these videos on a laptop, iPad, or even a smart phone. If Wi-Fi isn't available, the best solution is to download the videos in a location with Wi-Fi and then show them on a laptop or other device. It's possible to connect in ipad or smart phone to a TV for viewing - I'll do a post on that in the future.
How do you download a video?
It's possible, but not easy (or entirely legal) to download videos from YouTube. But there are better ways to get these videos.
Youth Website
One way is through the new youth website. There is a video link in the right sidebar - most of the videos are downloadable.
Podcasts
Another way is through podcasts - my favorite because it's automatic. The church created a Mormon Messages for Youth podcast. When you subscribe to the podcast, the videos automatically download onto your computer. Then you can easily show them on a laptop, iPad, or smartphone.

There are numerous audio and video LDS podcasts, including general conferences and CES firesides. If you don't know how to use podcasts, it's worthwhile to learn. The easiest way, in my opinion, is to download and subscribe through iTunes. It's a free, user-friendly program.

How to use podcasts
Once you have iTunes installed on your computer, click on the Mormon Messages for Youth podcast link and you'll have the option to view it in iTunes and subscribe.
I hope this works for you!
