The video tutorial explains how to use a multimeter to measure voltage. It starts with setting up the multimeter by connecting the black probe to the COM port and the red probe to the V port. The tutorial then guides viewers on selecting the appropriate DC voltage setting, suggesting 20 volts for small battery-powered circuits. Finally, it demonstrates how to measure voltage by connecting probes in parallel to the component being tested, such as an LED, and explains how to interpret the readings, including the effect of reversing the probes.
