Hey how's it going everyone... This is your cute and cuddly YouTube expert Derral Eves. At least that's what my wife thinks, and that's all that matters.
Well YouTube is at it again, they're constantly changing everything every day. At least that
is what it feels like sometimes and it can get really frustrating for a lot of you that
really don't know how to do the most simple things on YouTube. Now, the changes that are
about to come, they are really going to change the navigation. And so I wanted to make able
to show you this video before hits a lot of you and so you know what is exactly coming
up. Because the changes are occurring now to the new YouTube or is it the new new YouTube.
I don't know let's take a look.
So let me go ahead and show you some recent changes that are happening to YouTube and
some of you might have already seen these changes. Others the changes are about to come.
So the first thing is this is what your YouTube channel used to look like and some of your
channels might look like it right now. You actually have a gear here right at the top
right by the upload button. And you can be anywhere on YouTube and access that... You
also would be able to get to your dashboard, video manager, analytics, YouTube settings,
and help really quickly. You can also click on this that would take your to your google
plus page. Notifications and so on. You can click this link and there are a ton of links
right here ok. And you also see the watch later and the other navigation. Let me show
you what is actually changed in the new YouTube or is it the new new YouTube. Whatever it
is. I'm kind of... I don't know if I'm too happy with some of the changes here. Ultimately
there is no gear right here by the upload, so there no quick way to get to my video manager
and analytics very quickly ok and you know there is a step to get to my video manager
but to get to the analytics and so on. When you click on the icon there's no other links
that are there, you can see that you have the video manager and also a gear here so
you're thinking "oh ok this is where all that gear stuff is going to be" and it's not, it's
actually YouTube settings. So when you click on that you see YouTube settings and to be
honest with you guys I rarely even come to this page. I set it and forget it because
it's already done. I don't know why they would actually have that be right there. But anyways,
heading back you would go to the video manager and when you click on the video manager you
actually go to the dashboard. And that's fine, this is a great place you can see your statistics
and so on, so forth. I usually click over here on the left-hand side because when I
go to video manager I want to go to video manager. Not necessarily the dashboard. And
so you'll have to do an extra click to actually get to the video manager now. For me? You
know it was really nice to have it be one click away to get to my analytics and video
manager and I wish, you know, anyone that's listening to this that's YouTube. That would
be great to have a little drop down and we could have like analytics or whatever so we're
not three clicks away or four clicks away from getting to the pertinent stuff. However
there is some things that I really love about this recent change. And if you come to Community
section you're able to see some of the stuff that's there. One would be the comments underneath
the section, they've added this new area here where you can actually just comment on a specific
video and it pulls all your comments in. This is fantastic! This is going to save me so
much time! Because you know there's some videos I want to give a little bit more attention
to in my comments, so I can get some more good engagement. But I can break this down
by video or, you know, the channel discussion or all videos or a specific video and make
comments back. I think it's great, I think the only recommendation I'd have for them
is have a very quick way to get to the analytics, which you can, if you're logged in, by just
clicking right here, or you can click the video manager right here. However, when you're
outside of YouTube that is now gone and I'd be on somebody else's, you know, somebody
else's channel and I could get to my analytics or stuff quicker and there's not necessarily
a way to do that.
So really what do you think about this new changes, has it happened to your channel yet?
I'd love to hear it in the comments below. And I really know what most of you are going
to say, but I still would love to hear about that. Now in this existence called life, there's
a few sure bets. You've got death, you've got taxes, and you've also got changes on
YouTube, or something. I like to call it job security wait, no no no, that's for the YouTube
That would be awkward, because if you die
you can't really
subscribe and it'll kick you off my channel and if I charged you taxes then I would be
like the IRS and nobody would like me. That won't work.
