The YouTube Application is a popular and often-used social media medium for teaching and learning amongst teachers, lecturers and students. However, not everyone has the knowledge to use Youtube as a teaching and learning medium. As such, this study intends to explore the knowledge required by a Youtuber Arabic Language Teacher, in teaching Primary Level Arabic Language. This study uses the qualitative approach with case study design and 3 outstanding Youtuber teachers from a few schools in the states of Selangor, Johor and Kedah were selected to participate in this study. Data was compiled through semi-structured interviews. The findings of the study indicates that the outstanding Youtuber Arabic language teachers had two types of specific knowledge to use YouTube as the medium of teaching and learning. The two types of knowledge are the Knowledge of the Special Application of YouTube and the Knowledge of Creating YouTube Videos. The Knowledge of the Special Application of YouTube is related to YouTube as the medium of teaching and learning, the basic and extended features of YouTube. As for the Knowledge of Creating YouTube Videos, this relates to the multimedia elements and their presentation in creating these YouTube videos, which are appropriate and can contribute towards "teaching" audiences; especially students of the Arabic language. Therefore, the aforementioned bodies of knowledge within this study will help teachers who are not yet proficient in handling the YouTube application and creating interesting YouTube videos, as a guide, specifically in the teaching of Arabic language.
