- Hey, Insiders, I'm Louis,
filling in for Connor again this week.
- No, no, no, you're not, I'm back, okay?
Okay, we can get started, all right?
What's up, Insiders, we've got some great updates
for you this week because if it's Tuesday, it's news day.
Let's get into it.
All right, we've made a few updates
for creators with access to Creator Music,
based on your feedback.
We've added a filter in Creator Music that allows creators
to filter license duration alongside price.
While we have many options for songs
with perpetual licenses,
try filtering for other licensed durations to find
more recent or popular tracks.
Creators with access to Creator Music can find this filter
in the browse tab of Creator Music.
Try it out and let us know what you think.
We've also added new icons to indicate which tracks
are available for revenue sharing.
When you use less than 30 seconds in a video
that's three minutes or longer
and which are available for revenue sharing
regardless of how much you use.
Next, we've mentioned data stories on the channel before.
If you're unfamiliar, data stories are new kind
of analytics insight that break down complex topics
about channel performance and YouTube in a personalized,
simple and visual step by step story to swipe through.
We're now introducing a data story that will help creators
understand what percentage of their audience
is watching shorts
and how shorts can help creators grow their channel.
Currently, this data story is in a limited experiment
and we'll roll it out to more creators pending the result
of the experiment.
But leave us your questions below.
Next, last year, we talked about an experiment
called expiring posts where creators on Android
could publish a post that expired after 24 or 72 hours.
Now, prior to this, posts did not expire
and lived as evergreen content on a creator's community tab.
We had heard the creators wanted the ability
to share content that is only available
for a short amount of time.
For example, to announce a special limited time discount
on merch, or share a special message for fans
who happen to catch it before it expires.
We're happy to announce that we've begun rolling out
the ability to create expiring posts on Android and iOS
and will be available to all creators soon.
Viewers on all devices will see expires in X hours
at the top of the post, in the community tab
and creators will be able to see their expired posts
in the community tab under the archived chip
once it has expired.
Creators won't be able to re-share expired posts,
but we're planning on adding that functionality
in the future.
The goal is to help enable more relatable
and personable conversations and increase fan participation
through ephemerality.
We'll leave more information in the description.
Leave us your questions and feedback below.
Next, currently creators can only tag
and pin products to mobile live streams
via live control room AKA LCR and the metadata editor
in desktop.
We're happy to announce that we're now launching the ability
for creators to tag and pin products to mobile live streams
on mobile devices as well.
The goal is to facilitate easy casual creation
by enabling product tagging and pinning directly on mobile,
allowing creators to conduct an end-to-end
live shopping experience.
Creators can tag, pin and manage products, for example,
unpin, reorder, et cetera
before or during live streams in real time.
Now, if a creator starts a live stream with a product tagged
viewers will get an immersive experience,
which is optimized for vertical consumption on mobile.
We'll leave more information in the description
but let us know if you've any questions.
And that's it for this week
from the creators of YouTube to YouTube creators,
we'll see you next week.
