- What's up Insiders?
If it's Tuesday, it's news day
let's get into this week's updates.
First up, let's discuss a launch.
This one is called Channel Guidelines.
You may remember an experiment we discussed last
year called Channel Guidelines,
where within the experiment,
creators could establish specific guidelines
for their channel to in turn establish certain expectations
and norms for their communities.
Now, if you miss that video, you'll find a link to it.
within the description below.
To quickly recap ,Channel Guidelines are specific rules
that outline the types of conversations
you want to see on your channel.
This means that your audience must read
and acknowledge the guidelines
before leaving a comment or chat.
We're continuing to roll out this feature globally
to creators to set up to three guidelines
for their channels.
If you don't have access yet, stay tuned
as we expand to more creators over the course of the year.
If you do have access, leave us some feedback
in the comments we'd love to hear about your experience.
Creators with access can access the feature
via YouTube studio, clicking on settings
and then community.
Next up let's discuss an exciting launch,
the launch of Search Insights.
Now, if this sounds familiar to you,
it's because of the fact
that we discussed it on the channel earlier this year
if you missed it, there's a link
to that video in the description below.
The goal of Search Insights is to significantly improve
content planning as well as
enabling creators to create more relevant content
by allowing them access to what the creator audience
is searching for.
Now, we've gotten a ton of really positive feedback
around this via comments, as well as questions from you.
So we're really happy to announce
that Search Insights also known
as the Research Tab will be rolling
out to all creators by the end of April.
Now, one thing to note is this is live
for English search terms only
for the moment and will be relevant only
to the regions, UK, US, Canada, Australia, and India.
But note that we're working on rolling this
out to more languages
and regions as soon as possible.
Now, in order to access the Research Tab
you're gonna need access to YouTube studio on desktop.
You're gonna click on analytics and then across the top
you'll see a Research Tab.
Let us know if you have any questions in the comments below.
Next up let's discuss another launch.
Now over the past year
we've been making improvements to captions features.
We're really happy to announce
the launch of Subtitles Editor,
a new role within creator studio.
Now within channel permissions, within YouTube studio
you're going to find a Subtitle Editor role.
What this does is enable creators to delegate the role
of captions creation to someone they trust
without providing full channel access.
Now, we wanted to provide you an update today
because of the fact that we knew
this took us longer than we anticipated.
Why? Because we wanted to make sure we got it right.
Both for creators and for viewers.
Now, this is all possible because of your feedback.
And we know that our work isn't done when it comes
to improving accessibility on YouTube.
So be it this feature or any others
please continue to provide us feedback.
We really appreciate it.
For more our information on how to get started
consult the link to the help center page.
that's within the description below.
Next up a clarification.
This one relates to Mentions Eligibility and the Rollout.
Now, two weeks ago
we discussed the expansion of eligibility from channels
with 500 subscribers down to just zero subscribers.
We wanted to clarify coz we found in the comments
that there was some confusion
that we're still in the process of rolling this out
and the rollout should be complete by mid-April.
Let us know if you have any other questions.
And finally, we got a lot of feedback
from last week's news flash specific
to the video filtering options that we announced
and the deprecation of the option to sort by oldest
at the channel level,
please know that we're reviewing all of the comments
and we're passing them on to the team
that's working on this feature.
We'll follow up if there are any other updates
and that's about it from Creator Insider, from the creators
of YouTube to YouTube creators, we'll see you next week.
