Sumario:This article discusses the characteristics of YouTube use within the scope of municipal legislatures, permeating questions on the subject, number of publications, types of videos, and perspective of engagement, based on the views and likes presented. To this end, 682 posts made by the 26 city councils of Brazilian capitals, in the period of fifteen days, from June 1, 2022 to the 15th of the same month, a period containing the restrictions of the electoral period, were considered. Content analysis was used from an adapted codebook. A professionalization was noticed on the communication based on the form of the publications, with videos produced by specialized teams. Regarding content, broadcasts of lives and journalistic reports stand out, alongside committee meetings.
