- Hello insiders. So glad to see
all the likes and comments on the newsflash.
Thank you so much for the feedback
and we'll try to incorporate some of that
in this video. Lets get started with this week's newsflash.
First update: using automated systems
to identify content made for 18 and over
viewers on YouTube. This update applies for creators
making content meant for an 18 and older audience
on YouTube. While there are no major age
restriction policy changes beginning today
and rolling over the next few months.
We will expand the use of our automated system
to identify and apply age restrictions to videos
that aren't appropriate for viewers under 18.
Why are we doing this?
These changes are in line with the upcoming
recreations in the AU. Which are focused on
insuring platforms, like YouTube verify users age.
If they want to watch context appropriate for
people over 18. So what does that actually mean
for my channel? Viewership on videos
made for audience over the age of 18
will likely be reduced, as they won't be seen
by viewers who are logged out under 18
or watching embeds from moster party sites.
There should only be slight reduction to
monetization on these videos because
they will already have limited or no ads.
As always creators can appeal an age restriction
if they think there was an error.
If you want more details on this,
our creator liaison Matt Coval, covers this
in the video we'll leave in the description below.
Make sure to check it out.
Next update. How to make money on YouTube 101.
A very exciting topic. Based on the comments.
Connor recorded a session all about
how to make money on YouTube.
Both through advertising and alternative
monetization products. We'll leave it in the description
if you want to check it our. Next update.
Mic reading set official series to new studio.
A while ago we mentioned a few playlist features
that due to low usage we were not going to pull over
from classic studio to new studio.
If you want a refresher, we'll have that video
linked below. A quick update, we've heard your feedback
on the set official series feature
and we'll be migrating that over to the new studio.
Thank you so much for that feedback.
Next update. Channel customization roll out.
Earlier this year we told you that we'll soon
have the ability to customize your channel
directly within YouTube studio.
You'll be able to edit your channel's
homepage layout to feature your most important content
and update your profile image, channel name,
and channel banner to match your brand.
We're happy to announce that we're starting
to release the new channel customization features
to YouTube Studio users all over the world.
If you don't see it yet, no need to be alarmed.
Over the course of the next month or so
you should start seeing the new options in the
left hand navigation of your studio.
We're aiming for 50% launch to creators this week.
So how do I know I have this new experience?
On your YouTube.com, on your on channel page
when you click on the customization channel button,
you will be redirected to the new experience in Studio.
Or when you're in YouTube Studio you will notice
a new customization option in the left navigation.
Were very excited to bring channel customization
into Studio. Making your YouTube Studio truly
a one destination for creators.
Happy customizing.
Next update. Were beginning a 1% experiment
merging the two comment moderation tabs.
Likely spam, comments can now be found
at the bottom of the "held for review" tab.
We hope that the new combined "held for review" tab
will help simplify your moderation experience
and reduce the amount of work for creators.
Were continuing the work on ways to improve
your moderation experience and increase efficiency.
Next update. Copyright tab expansion in Studio.
Were expanding access to the Copyright tab
to all YouTube Studio users.
You will be able to one: see detailed history
of your previously submitted Copyright take down requests.
Two: quickly access the Copyright complaint web form
to report any videos that use your Copyright
protected work without permission.
You can find the Copyright tab on the left-hand
side of the studio interface.
And that's a wrap for this week's newsflash.
Last week's trivia question was:
What is the most viewed YouTube original film?
The answer is "The Thinning."
and our winner is BuddyYT.
Congratulations.
This week's trivia question is going to be
an inspiration from Tom's "This week's movie."
Are you ready? Here's the quote.
See if I can't trust you Ray, then I don't have
no choice but to put you outside the circle
and once your out, your out, and there's no
coming back." First person to guess correctly
in the comments will get a shout out
in the next newsflash.
Stay safe. Keep it real, your host Maria.
