Don't forget us…
OK, moment…
Hey creators, welcome back to the Creator Roundup.
We've got a ton of exciting updates for you this month.
As always, check out the links in the description for more information.
Let's dive in.
You asked, and we listened.
The option to sort by oldest on the channel page is back.
You'll see the sorting option on the Videos and Live tabs for both mobile and desktop.
We're introducing earlier access to the YouTube Partner Program
with lower eligibility criteria.
With these lower requirements
eligible creators can promote their own products with YouTube Shopping
and get access to features like Super Thanks
Super Chat, Super Stickers, and channel memberships
plus access to YouTube Creator Support.
To apply, you'll need 500 subscribers
3 valid public uploads in the last 90 days
and either 3,000 valid public watch hours on long-form video in the last year
or 3 million valid public Shorts views in the last 90 days.
You can apply by going to YouTube Studio, then Earn.
If you're not yet eligible, you can track your progress
and sign up to get notified when you do become eligible to apply.
Check out our full video in the description.
We're rolling out the YouTube Shopping affiliate program
which lets you tag products from brands and earn commission.
When a product is tagged, a Shopping button will appear on your content
giving viewers a seamless shopping experience.
You can tag products in a video or Short during the upload flow
or tag previously uploaded videos
by going to the video details page and clicking Products.
This is currently available
to eligible creators in the US with over 20,000 subscribers.
Try it out!
We've launched a number of new Analytics features
to help you keep track of how your content is performing.
First, the Revenue tab of YouTube Studio Analytics
will now show you a breakdown of how much you're earning by revenue source.
You'll see your revenue by watch page ads
Shorts Feed ads, memberships, Supers, Shopping, and more.
We've also added a new report in Analytics
that shows you what kind of content your viewers will watch on other channels
and help you track how that changes over time.
And finally, we've rolled out a new "Viewers across formats" report in Analytics.
This report gives you insight into
the combinations of formats your viewers are watching
between Shorts, videos, and live.
We're opening up access to Community tab posts
to all creators, regardless of their subscriber count
with advanced features.
Tap "Create a post" in the YouTube app
to see if you have access to the YouTube Community tab.
Or, you can check your eligibility by going to YouTube Studio
then Settings, then Channel, then Feature eligibility.
We're also adding the option
to set your Community posts to expire after 24 hours.
You can do this from your phone by clicking the hourglass icon
and setting an expiration before publishing your post.
We hope this helps encourage more in-the-moment engagements with your viewers.
Your viewers can now react to what's happening throughout your live stream.
Viewers watching will be able to use these reactions
to show support for your content.
We hope this adds a fun way to engage with your audience during your streams.
And finally, all creators in YPP
need to review and accept the new YPP Base Terms by July 10, 2023
to remain in the program.
If you're a creator in YPP
you need to accept at least the Base Terms by July 10, 2023
or you'll be removed from YPP and have to requalify and reapply to rejoin.
To continue to monetize your content
and unlock additional earning opportunities like Shorts ad revenue sharing
you'll also need to accept the relevant contract modules.
To check if you've reviewed and accepted the new YPP terms
go to Studio, then Settings, then Agreements.
And that's it for this month.
I'm Daniel.
