Steve dotto here how the heck are you
this fine day me I am feeling
particularly free because as a YouTube
content creator I used to have to go to
my computer anytime I wanted to manage
the content on my youtube channel but
YouTube has freed us from those
constraints they've created apps for us
on our mobile phones and our tablets
that allow us to go into creator studio
and manage our YouTube accounts are you
as excited as I am about this well you
should be stick around and I'll show it
to you
while I was away on my summer vacation
YouTube were very busy campers they were
busy releasing mobile versions of the
YouTube creator studio now creator
studio is YouTube's name for the
interface that YouTube content creators
use to manage their channels we do
everything from adding annotations to
checking our analytics to replying the
comments in creator studio and in the
past if I want to do anything related my
channel I would go to my computer and I
would use content creator or the creator
studio there on my computer but they
have now released it for our mobile
devices for my Android or my iOS phone
and it is a thing of beauty it gives
YouTube content creators freedom let's
have a quick look let's go into the
Android version and the iOS version and
both interfaces are virtually identical
we are opened up onto the dashboard
which is kind of a snapshot of the
health of our YouTube channel and we
have kind of 30,000 foot numbers here we
have how many people have viewed our
videos over the last 28 days the number
of minutes they've watched we also have
the number of subscribers but watch what
happens if I tap on a single video say
this last video with on Google Maps up
comes the links the share links how many
likes it's got as well as real-time
stats in the last 48 hours this video
has been viewed 700 times and overall in
the last 28 days 7,000 views as well I
can see all of the different comments on
that individual video this is golden
information for YouTube content creators
it allows me to really understand
exactly what's happening with my channel
now if for both they have the apps if we
just tap on the menu item here on the
top we see the different options that we
have as far as what we can do the
different areas that we can do with the
app we can go into the videos which we
just saw we can check out our analytics
we can go into YouTube and actually view
videos and on the iOS version they also
have this extra capture where we can
actually capture an upload video I'm not
sure I'd want to do that for my channel
but you might want to do it for your
channel if you have a challenge
but the area that's so valuable for me
and for other YouTube content creators
is the comments area if I click here
into the comments it allows me to go in
to the where the conversation is
happening around my videos now YouTube
is now a social network it's where
people come to meet and have
conversations and being the owner of a
YouTube channel I am the Grand Poobah of
comments in my channel I want to respond
to people commenting all the time and as
quickly as I can because they're usually
asking me a question or giving me a nice
compliment so here it gives me the
ability now to be able to do this in a
mobile environment I don't have to wait
till I'm sitting down before my notebook
or my desktop computer and all I do to
add to comment back if I wanted to thank
a net for the kind comment that you made
here is click on the comment and now I
can Trash your comment I can flag it I
can give it a thumbs up and I can also
reply to it and it does all of the nice
Google+ addressing back so that Annette
knows that I've commented back or I've
given a thumbs-up to her on the on the
comment that she has put forward this
new functionality in a mobile
environment for YouTube content creators
opens the doors for us to be so much
more engaged and so much more in charge
of our channel I'm giving it a big
thumbs up there's a thumbs up there I'm
giving it even a bigger thumbs up here
