- Hello Insiders.
It's your host Maria,
with this week's Newsflash.
It was so much fun doing my Newsflash last week.
Thank you so much for your feedback.
Now onto the updates,
your permission level now includes
read-only access to comments.
As mentioned in our interview a few weeks ago,
with Chevy Duke, we added a new feature
to viewer permission level.
Previously users who had been granted viewer level access
to a channel read only view
without access to the channel comments.
Now those with viewer level access to a channel will be able
to see the comments you've received,
but can not perform any actions on them.
Leave us your comments below.
Next update.
A hundred percent launch see audience interest
in your YouTube analytics.
We said, we'd keep you updated on the progress
of this new feature rolling out,
and we're excited to say we're at a 100%.
Creators can now learn more about their viewer interest
by visiting the audience tab of YouTube studio analytics.
This card titled other videos your audience watch
can help creators identify topics
for new videos, titles, or thumbnail ideas
and collaboration opportunities.
The data is based on all viewers of the channel
over the past seven days,
you are shipped from subs and non subs.
As a reminder, you may not see this feature
if your channel is made for kids
or your channel does not have enough information.
Next update,
memberships custom emoji comments full launch.
We've talked about this in a few news flashes,
but now all channel members can use custom emoji
in video comments as well as live chat.
This is available on all channels with membership enabled
and custom emoji uploaded.
Next update, removing Dorman account from YPP.
You may have recently heard about channels being removed
from the YouTube partner program,
if they are a below the channel eligibility threshold
and having created a new content in six months or more.
As YPP continues to evolve,
we want to make sure that we're doing what we can
to support our creators,
who are making great content
and engaging with the community.
And part of that is removing inactive channels
from the program.
We recognize creators may be taking a break
and encourage everyone to take the time they need.
We know the active creators
who take time off typically back within six months,
if the channel has been suspended,
it will have any impact on their future YPP eligibility.
When creators are ready to start making contact again,
they can reapply for monetization and YouTube studio
once they hit subscriber and watch threshold.
Next update, one of the ways we have channels
reach a wide audience and improve accessibility
for everyone on YouTube
is by improving caption tools.
Creators can manually add captions to their videos
and also provide automatically generated captions.
YouTube uses automatic speech recognition,
ASR to automatically add captions to videos,
and 10 commonly spoken languages.
These are automatically generated captions
are extremely helpful for many viewers and creators
who need captions and otherwise wouldn't have had them
on their video.
But they are imperfect.
They make mistakes.
These results in instances where the automated caption
were displaying words that weren't said in the video.
To better avoid cases in which automatic captions,
incorrectly display, potentially inappropriate words,
we're implementing a new default settings,
which will replace potentially inappropriate words
by default with an open bracket followed
by two underscores and a closed bracket.
This setting will not affect spoken words
in the audio track or captions or subtitles
in the manual caption tracks
and can be turned off at any time
at the channel level in the YouTube studio.
With this new automatic captioning setting,
it's possible to still get the convenience they offer
without running the risk
that they might unintentionally offend your viewers
or display potentially inappropriate words you'd never said
whether you leave it on or turn it off,
this setting does not affect your video monetization status
in any way.
We recommend you choose a setting ,
that is right for your channel and your audience.
While we continue to improve automatic captions
and reduce its error,
we encourage creators to manually review
and make necessary changes to their captions
and whenever possible to ensure the best accuracy.
Leave us your feedback below.
That is it for this week's Newsflash.
Let's move onto our winner from last week's trivia.
The question was,
what was the first YouTube original drum roll please?
The answer is Scare Pewdiepie.
Shout out to Schauerland for being the first
to answer correctly.
And that is,

- Are you ready for this week's trivial question?

Please note there's a big different
between series and films.

Stay safe, keep it real until next time.
I'm your host, Maria.
