This research is about the use of video tutorials on YouTube in learning to write procedural texts through zoom in class VII students of SMP Mardisiswa 2 Semarang. The aims of this study were: (1) to determine the ability of the seventh grade students of SMP Mardisiswa 2 Semarang who were taught using video tutorials on YouTube in learning to write procedure texts via Zoom, (2) to determine the ability of seventh graders at SMP Mardisiswa 2 Semarang who were taught without video tutorials on YouTube in learning to write procedure texts via Zoom, (3) to find out the significant difference in the ability of seventh graders at SMP Mardisiswa 2 Semarang in writing procedure texts taught using video tutorials on YouTube and without using video tutorials on YouTube via Zoom. The research design used in this study is an experimental design with a quantitative approach. The results showed that the ability of the seventh grade students of SMP Mardisiswa 2 Semarang to be able to write procedure texts taught using video tutorials on YouTube via Zoom was relatively high. The ability of grade VII students of SMP Mardisiswa 2 Semarang to be able to write procedural texts that are taught without using video tutorials on YouTube via Zoom is low. Based on the independent sample T-test above, the T-test value is known that T-test (2.173) is higher than T-table (2.007). This means that there is a significant difference in teaching writing procedure text for students who are taught using video. As a teacher, you must create a fun teaching and learning process, especially in this pandemic era, the stress level of students is increasing due to the government's restrictive policy, which causes students to stay at home most of the time.
