Abstract

This article analyzes the WebTVUs under the conceptual aspect, as well as through a quantitative research of the 115 university broadcasters that operate only on the Internet, especially on YouTube. This is the total amount collected in the Map 4.0 of Brazilian University TVs, which subsidizes this study. The objective is to understand how these broadcasters operate in the largest video social media. The data shows that, in general, WebTVUs use the platform's resources to interact with the academic community and society. But it also became evident that there is still much to improve in this performance.
