- What's up, insiders?
Let's get into some updates
because you know if it's Tuesday, it's news day.
Now, a few weeks ago we mentioned
we were starting to experiment
with giving a very small number of creators
the ability to add quizzes to their posts.
As a reminder, our goal is to introduce new interactive ways
for creators to engage with viewers
and in cases of educational channels, help them learn.
During initial testing, we received
a ton of positive feedback
from creators and from viewers.
So we're happy to announce
that we're expanding the experiment to more creators
with access to the community tab.
This group will be randomly selected
and will be able to post quizzes on Android phones.
Viewers across Android, iOS
and desktop devices will be able to see these quizzes
and interact with them.
We'll keep you posted as we continue
to expand this feature in the coming months.
We look forward to hearing more feedback
from the creator community.
So let us know if you have any thoughts or questions
in the comments below.
Next, currently impressions are the only metric shown
on the key metrics card for posts in studio.
This week, we'll be adding additional metrics to the card,
including likes and subscribers on both mobile and web.
Let us know if you have any questions.
Next, YouTube has launched new gaming-themed emotes
for use in live chat and comments to help foster a fun way
for your community to engage with your content.
Emotes can currently be used on live chat
and comments on desktop and on mobile live chat
by selecting the emoji icon in the text box.
We plan on launching additional designs
and expanding availability
to mobile comments in the future, so stay tuned.
Next, we've launched an official destination
for live streaming on the YouTube creator's website.
Now, this new site has educational resources
and is geared towards helping creators
who are starting their livestream journey
and will help them understand the benefits
of live streaming on YouTube.
Next, currently shorts remix reports are available
in Studio Mobile Main and Studio Web Deep Dive.
But now we're bringing parity to Studio Web
so you can easily find your top remixed content
and the remixes created just as you would on mobile.
Now as a refresh, the top remixed report shows your content
that has been used to make shorts.
The report also shows the number
of times your content has been remixed
and the number of remix views.
Next, we've talked about a series of experiments
to improve posts to make them more visual, engaging,
and fun on the channel before.
As a reminder, our goal is for creators
to more deeply engage and connect with their viewers.
In the experiments currently running,
creators will be able to add filters, text,
and stickers to images for posts directly
in the YouTube app.
We brought this to creators on Android earlier this year
and are happy to announce that it will be available
to all creators on iOS by the end of the week.
Lastly, we want to thank you all
for another year of being an insider.
Because of your constant engagement,
your positive and negative feedback,
you've helped our tech and policy teams tremendously
over the past few years.
And we really consider this audience an integral pulse
in our creator community.
Now, we're looking forward to continuing
and adding to our series like Newsflash, Mythbusting,
and Sneak Peaks next year,
as well as finding new ways to engage you
in our discussions with the tech team.
If you're not already subscribed, please do so.
All of our guests on Creator Insider are volunteers
with separate full-time jobs at YouTube,
so it helps indicate
whether or not this information is valuable
and ultimately if viewers think
the channel is worth continuing.
This will be our last newsflash of the year,
but we want to sincerely thank you
for all of your contributions in 2022,
for helping us better understand
your individual perspectives through comments,
for helping me become a better host,
and most importantly,
helping us develop better products and policies for you.
Our goal is to make this channel as interactive
and helpful for you next year as possible.
So please continue leaving your comments, suggestions,
and questions.
With that, onto 2023, have a safe and happy new year,
and most importantly,
from the creators of YouTube to YouTube creators,
keep it real, and we'll see you next year.
