Published: January 5, 2024
Welcome to the YouTube Creator Roundup
Greetings, innovative creators! Join us in our YouTube Creator Roundup as we explore the newest updates on the platform, crafted to enhance your content creation journey.
Discover Collab: A Fresh Way to Connect and Create
YouTube introduces ‘Collab’, an exciting new feature to elevate collaboration. Creators can now interact with each other’s content directly, responding and contributing to videos in a dynamic, side-by-side format. Initially exclusive to iOS users, ‘Collab’ will also be arriving on Android, expanding your creative horizons.
Boost Engagement with Complimentary Channel Memberships
Strengthen your community by gifting channel memberships! Each month, creators can now give away 10 memberships at no extra cost to them. This is a fantastic way to thank your loyal audience and highlight the perks of being a subscriber, especially during live streams.
Members-first Video Scheduling
Have a membership program for $5 or less? You can now schedule members-only content that later becomes public. This exclusive window is ideal for rewarding your members and optimizing your video release plan.
Improve Your Comment Moderation with the ‘Pause’ Feature
Gain more control over your video comments with the new ‘Pause’ moderation setting. When overwhelmed by active discussions, simply pause new comments while keeping the current conversation visible. Accessible through Studio or your app’s settings, this tool helps maintain engagement without the stress.
Enhance Your Shorts with Shoppable Sounds
Merge music and e-commerce in your Shorts thanks to the new shoppable sounds feature. Discover tracks paired with tagged products in the ‘Shopping sounds’ section of the music picker library, and seamlessly integrate product promotion into your Short-form content.
