The debut makes sense of earlier test videos posted to Twitter. Movie star Brie Larson began her career as a YouTube content creator this weekend by talking to a dozen other influencers about their approaches, as well as her own interest in creativity, movies, games and social issues. Her first YouTube video already has over 1.075 million views and the channel has over 195,000 subscribers.

The announcement was preceded by two outtake videos posted at the start of the month, at the time without context, which set her fans and industry-watchers wondering what the actress and personable activist was up to.
