YouTube is providing an online countdown for people who have to stay at home on New Year’s Eve.

YouTube which is owned by Google is teaming up with Warner Music Group to host a online New Year’s Eve party. The countdown will celebrate New Year’s Eve as midnight comes to different countries around the world.

Marguerite Reardon posted on her entertainment blog about the event: “Special video messages from YouTube celebrities such as Boh3m3, Smosh, Terra Naomi, Renetto, Chad Vadar and The WineKone, along with artists from WMG labels Atlantic Records, Warner Brothers Records and Warner Music International will be featured on the home page.

“In addition to videos from top YouTube personalities, WMG will provide special video content from New Year’s celebrations with its artists as well as music videos and concert footage. ‘Almost-live’ videos from New Year’s concerts from New York City, Scotland, Los Angeles and Houston will be uploaded directly from the venues using mobile phones.

“Some of the bands playing include Panic!, At the Disco, the Goo Goo Dolls and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Users can upload their videos in a special New Year’s YouTube group at www.youtube.com/group/ne.”
