I want to introduce some of my friends to Minecraft. They have never heard of it before and I am having trouble explaining them from the beginning since the scope of the game is very vast.
I want to give them a preview of the game before they start playing themselves, so I would prefer a video explaining the same. I tried to search for it on YouTube but I could personally find no video that could explain the premise and potential of the game from scratch. I tried to explain them via playing the game on my device too but that was of no meaningful help either since I have no personal worlds or builds to show.
Could someone please help me recommend some useful resource for this matter? I am sure they will come to love it once they get to properly understand it.

They could just watch some random let's play too. That's how I was hooked into the game initially

This is pretty accurate and exactly why Minecraft is the prefect sandbox. There's only two things you have to do. I've met people who's most valuable item is their hoe, I've met people who subsist on rotten flesh and uncooked meat so they never have to stop killing. I myself make a writable journal as fast as I can to record the ever continuing travels of a multiverse hopping lich, settling on new planes and waiting for the inevitable cosmic end to catch up to him.

Is there really a need to introduce the game? I think there is even a tutorial when you first start a new world.
Ps oh how I wish I could play Minecraft for the first time again. I've been playing it for 14 years now

I was introduced to it by joining a friend's server and we started playing together. I think it's the best way honestly. She stayed with me at first and answered all my questions, she suggested I go mining once I had some gear, and then I continued on my own.

They have never heard of it before? How is that even possible?
EDIT: this should tell them everything they need to know though: https://youtu.be/56sEXfIPM_M

What games do they know? Can you draw any analogies?
