How do I run 2 tabs?

I would like to run videos on one tab and maybe search on another.
I am not very clever with my laptop but hope some one can help me. How would I do this?
Thanks for any help.

    What browser are you using? You can normally open a second tab by pressing [CTRL] + [T] together.

    Open tabs, windows and files

    Open a new tab

    Click the icon next to the last tab, which opens the New Tab page.

    To open a link in a new tab, press Ctrl (Windows and Linux) or ⌘ (Mac) on your keyboard when you click the link. Related tabs are grouped together.

    Want the same web page opened in multiple tabs? Right-click the tab containing the web page in question and select Duplicate.

    Try these keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+T (Windows and Linux); ⌘-T (Mac)
    Open a new window

    Try these keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+N (Windows and Linux); ⌘-N (Mac)
    Open a file

    Drag the file into Google Chrome from your computer desktop or folder. Your cursor displays a little + sign if the action is successful.

    Type the location, also known as the path, of the file in the address bar, then press Enter.

    Try these keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+O (Windows and Linux); ⌘-O (Mac)

    Just click on the little "new tab" square on the title bar. Or press Ctrl+T at the same time. You can open as many tabs as you like. I frequently have 15-20 open at any one time.

    I wonder why charley4 is asking the same question which he/she asked on 11 January last year? Presumably since getting the answer he/she has been using Tabs.

    Default I want to open 2 pages next to each other on my laptop
    I've changed my desktop for a laptop. I hope someone can help me please. I want to open two web pages at once. I think this is quite basic but I am not managing to do it. Thanks!

    I'd have thought the answer was obvious - he'd forgotten or maybe is using a different browser now.

    What I'm wondering is why you bothered to check back?
