- Welcome to YouTube Creator News,
where I keep YouTubers like you up to date
with everything that's happening on YouTube
that impacts you as a content creator.
So if this is your first time here, make sure you subscribe
so you don't miss anything that's gonna be coming up
on YouTube that can impact you.
So today we have some really exciting news.
So we had some YouTube employees
drop all kinds of crazy features.
Not really crazy.
Some of 'em are crazy, but some of them
are just a ton of new features that they are saying that
are coming up this year, and I wanted to make sure
to tell you about those as well as a support place
that YouTube had for content creators
that they are now closing down and more YouTube news
starting right now with if you're on an iPhone,
the ability to add up to four images in your image polls
from your device is currently rolling out.
So if you are on an iPhone
that previously was only available for Android devices,
but now it is rolling out for you across the platform,
but it's just rolling out
which means that not everybody's gonna have it right now
but it's, you know, it's rolling out to everybody
that has the community feed and has an iPhone.
In addition to that,
so YouTube's CEO, Neal Mohan put out his, you know
official letter for the year
and some of the things that he mentioned
that are coming are absolutely mind blowing.
Actually, one, two things specifically
that he actually, you know, kind of dialed in.
In addition to that, Leo who is YouTube's head of gaming,
also shared some other exciting features
that are coming as well.
So check this out.
So the very first one
and this is what I'm most excited about,
because I can't even imagine what this is gonna do to us
as content creators.
So the very first thing here is
they are going to be introducing AI, artificial intelligence
that we're gonna be able to use in our videos.
The use case for this was that creators
might be able to swap out the outfits or maybe the colors,
you know the outfits that they're wearing
and they might be able to create fantastical film settings
in the coming months.
So this isn't something that is like
you know, hey 20, you know 20, 25 or you know, you know,
like way down the road.
This is something that's happening in the coming months
to where we're gonna be able to use AI
directly within our video content, which is pretty huge.
So when it comes down to, you know, like changing outfits
imagine what else we're gonna be able to change, right?
Like, I'm so excited to see this actually roll out and see,
you know, what it is that we have access to do.
This is gonna be super exciting.
But some other features that they talked about as they said
that they're gonna be investing heavily
in shopping features for YouTube,
meaning that people are gonna be able to you know,
do more shopping, you know, on YouTube
through us as content creators.
They're expanding paid subscriptions,
they are introducing auto captioning in more languages
and this is actually already rolling out some of this.
They're expanding gifted memberships to mobile.
Gaming viewers are gonna be able,
and this is super interesting.
So gaming viewers are gonna be able to
remix clips into shorts.
So basically if you are a gaming creator
and you're having some epic moment and people, you know
sample it out through the remix,
they're gonna be able to just make a short out of it.
So then that way, instead of just directly replying
you know, to the remix itself or whatever,
they're gonna be able to just take those, you know clips
and make them into shorts, which is pretty awesome.
They've shared the number of channels
that upload to shorts daily.
They shared that this grew by 80%
for the daily creators since last year.
So the reason that I put this one on my list is because,
you know, there's been a lot of talk lately
where people are like, hey, you know
I'm publishing my shorts.
They're just not getting the reach they used to
and things like that.
This is why, right?
Like they have an 80% increase in daily uploads for shorts,
content creators, there's people uploading for shorts.
So because of that, the amount of competition on YouTube
is swelling and it's gonna continue to swell because,
you know, one of the features I just talked about
was making it easier for viewers
to remix some of your content into shorts.
So it's just gonna continue just getting flooded.
So make sure that if you are a content creator
that's trying to get a foothold on all of this,
that you do take advantage of YouTube shorts,
especially right now because this is an unprecedented moment
that you have on YouTube that you're probably not
ever gonna get again from any other feature
that they could deploy,
at least anything that we're thinking of right now.
But they also shared that YouTube is now
the second most popular destination for podcasts
and the feature for this is that they're bringing
audio and video podcast to YouTube music
and RSS integration is coming for those as well,
which is pretty huge if you're a podcaster.
Leo, YouTube's head of gaming mentioned these features
in addition to the things that Neil mentioned.
He says that the remix clips into shorts,
which I mentioned above,
we are going to be able to see the clips that people make
from those in YouTube Studio.
They are working on something that is going to help us,
and this is huge also,
that's going to help us recompose our landscape videos
you know, our regular, you know
format videos into portrait videos that we can use
for YouTube shorts as well, which is pretty awesome.
So then that way, that's going to take away the need for
I mean, this is gonna be content dependent, I'm sure
based on, you know, how you frame things and all of that.
But basically this is gonna take away the need
for us to do all of that, you know, on the backend
and editing software and all that, which is a huge win.
They're also adding live rings to more surfaces.
Now, if you're a live streamer, this is a really big deal
because what the live rings are is they're basically
a ring that goes around your profile and it lets people
that are interacting with your content
or seeing your content somewhere on the platform know
that you're live so that they can come in and participate
while they are adding these rings to more surfaces.
So let's say somebody's looking for something
in YouTube search and one of your videos come up,
maybe it's gonna have that ring right there
and then they'll be able to come in
and join your live stream.
So that's great in terms of helping us, you know
just get more attention from our live streams
which is a huge win.
Another thing that they mentioned as well
is that they're also broadening support
and this one's like much needed as we all know.
But they say that they're broadening support
via chat and email.
Which leads me to my next topic
which is YouTube is removing the support option
for English speakers.
That is, or was the YouTube community forum.
So typically when people send me DMs
or they come into live streams like, hey Nick,
I'm having this problem with my channel.
Where can I get help?
Typically, I would say, go to the YouTube creator
or YouTube community forums, make a post over there
at Team YouTube on Twitter, send a message to chat.
You know, basically go through all the channels.
Well now that one channel's getting shut down
and the reason for that, Natasha,
a team YouTube member said, unfortunately
many threads are not relevant user-based discussion
and a large amount of questions go unanswered.
I'm guessing if they would've kept
maybe some of their trusted flagger volunteers
or something that might've kind of, you know
fixed that problem, I'm not sure.
But they will still be sharing official news there,
known issues and information about product features.
It's just not open for reporting your issues
or any problems that you're having
with your channel anymore.
Normally, like I said before
that's where I tell people to go is one of the outlets.
So I won't be, you know, mentioning that anymore.
In addition to that, from Creator Insiders
they're going multi-language audio is rolling out
for more content creators, so keep an eye out for that
if that is something that you are interested in.
Keep in mind that YouTube
is not gonna be dubbing your tracks.
This is something that you're gonna have to
use a service for.
They currently have a service provided
by Google called Allow that you can do this through
but other services are popping up
that are also making this available.
I think Tube Spanner is also working right now
on developing some AI
or working, basically integrating AI
that is also doing some audio
that's gonna be able to translate
some of your stuff for you as well, using your transcripts.
But let's see here.
The multi-language audio is also going to include captions
in the viewer's preferred language, which is another win.
So if somebody's in there and they are interacting
with your audio that is multi-language,
then they're also going to see the captions
in that language as well in their preferred language.
And let's see here, recognition milestones
are also rolling out for YouTube shorts.
So basically what those are
is they're like full panel screens
that you're gonna see in your mobile device
and those full panel screens are gonna give you updates
on you know, like, hey, you crossed this milestone,
you crossed this milestone.
So make sure that you keep an eye out for those
if you are uploading YouTube shorts.
In addition to that, I'm gonna be
after this stream is complete
I wanna let everybody know really quick
that after this stream I'm gonna be doing some
free channel reviews on another channel.
It's actually linked at the very top of the screen right now
and I'm dropping it here in the chat.
So make sure if that is something you're interested in,
you check that out.
Also, if you're an YouTube channel member
of my channel, I wanna let you know that we are having
our next members only stream this coming Tuesday.
So make sure that you are connected
to Members Amp so you can be notified of that.
I'll also be putting it
in all the other, you know, obvious places as well.
And that's the news.
I'll see you over in the other piece of content
on the channel reviews here in just a few minutes.
If you are trying to learn how to grow on YouTube
make sure you click into this, which I'll put in here
after I get done with those channel reviews.
Thanks for watching, I'll see you next time.
