Indonesian Language Learning for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) is increasingly developing with advances in technology, one of which is the use of the YouTube platform. YouTube is a video sharing platform that dares to upload and watch content from various countries that can be easily accessed. The YouTube platform can make it easier for learners to access learning from anywhere and anytime. This study aims to explore the use of YouTube as a learning medium while describing the benefits and challenges faced. The use of the YouTube platform makes it easier for learners to understand the use of Indonesian starting from greetings, getting to know family members, asking and informing agendas, describing places, how to get there, asking about locations, asking about prices, and describing something. Some of the benefits and solutions offered in this study are used as reference materials in implementing BIPA learning using the YouTube platform.
