Hi there everybody!
Welcome to CreativesLab.
I'm your host Banksia Lebel, helping you grow your youtube channel starting from zero.
YouTube has come a long way since 2005.
And in today's video, we will be going through all of the YouTube's latest and greatest feature
of 2017.
Let's get right into it!
The first feature we are going to talk about is the YouTube Studio App for your mobile device.
With this app, you can now schedule your posts right from your phone.
You can select the date, the time and the video publishing type.
whether that's being private, unlisted or public -- you can now do that right from your phone and notify your
subscribers whenever your video is about to release.
The next feature in the YouTube Studio App is the subscriber count card.
For those creator out there that are passionate about building audience and subscribers,
YouTube has now just added a prominent subscriber count card right at the top corner of the YouTube Studio app dashboard.
Coming up next, we have the Analytics Insight Cards.
With this feature, it is now a lot simpler and easier to understand your channel stats.
Not only that, but the cards also suggest what to do and ways you can grow your YT channel.
You'll also be given links to insightful resources based on your channel needs in order to grow.
According to YouTube's official blog, you'll receive a personalised message
whenever there is an important change as well as updates happening on your YouTube channel.
YouTube has also stated that they will be adding more helpful tips on the YouTube Studio app very soon --
so definitely stay tuned for that!
Next up, we have the custom thumbnails feature. The good news is, you can now upload and customise
your own thumbnails right from your mobile device on both ios and android.
Good news to gamers out there!
If you're a gaming channel looking forward to earning extra income via YouTube,
YouTube had just recently introduced a feature to help you do that and also help you connect
with your subscribers better through sponsorships!
With sponsorships, your subscribers can now purchase digital products and good directly
from your YT channel and support you via monthly subscriptions starting from 4.99 USD.
The sponsors will receive exclusive perks, such as custom badge and emoji that will help
them stand out during your live stream.
These badges as well emojis will be designed by you, the creator, to your subscribers.
Sponsors will also get exclusive access to sponsors-only live chat, which is an awesome
way to connect with your supporters.
Sponsorships are now available to all eligible creators on the YouTube Gaming app platform.
So if your channel meets the requirement and is eligible, you can now start by visiting
the website: youtube.com/features and begin collecting and growing your sponsorship base.
YouTube will also be testing out another version of sponsorships with non-gaming creators on
the main YouTube app platform.
Coming up next, we have a better-updated version of the YouTube Livestream -- which has now
become a lot more accessible, faster, reliable and easier to set up.
One main changes are the Real-time interaction feature.
To give you, the creator, a better experience when interacting with the audience.
YouTube had just introduced a tool called ultra low-latency -- in which you can enable it during live streams.
That way you'll be able to answer your subscriber's questions and get their reaction during your
live streams a lot easier and faster.
The best thing about this is the fact that it is SUPER easy to set up and it doesn't require
any additional software, apps or extensions in order for it to work.
The next feature within the YouTube Livestream category is the three new live chat moderation tools.
The first one being the: Inline moderation tool
This tool allows you to quickly hover through your chat feed by simply pressing and holding
the shortcut keys on your keyboard -- which is "alt" or "option" button.
What this does is that it pauses your chat feed.
And once the feed is paused, you can immediately skim through the comments
to approve or remove it as you wish with only one click.
You can also assign a moderator you trust, to help you out during live streams.
The second tool is the message review tool.
By opting-in, the messages identified by YouTube's system will be held from posting on your streams,
that way you can decide whether or not to approve it, hide it or flag it.
You can also block certain words or phrases that are inappropriate or offensive to you.
Last but not least is the shared hidden user lists feature.
This feature lets you and your moderators use the same hidden users list across comments
and chats your during live streams.
YouTube also mentions that in the future hides will work in both comments and live chat,
despite where you take that action.
In addition to all of that, YouTube has now also made streaming a lot easier for iPhone
and iPad users when using the YouTube app.
With Apple's ReplayKit, creators can now live stream directly from any of the popular apps
that supports Replay Kit on YouTube Gaming.
Not only that but You'll also be able to use your phone's microphone and front-facing camera when streaming.
So let's kick off with the design and going back to the YouTube mobile App:
The most obvious one would be the clean and modern design to the app itself: YouTube decided
to make their header's color white so that the content stands out even more and also
moved the navigation tabs way down to the bottom of the app -- making it closer to your thumbs.
In addition to that, YouTube had also added new Library and Account tabs that give you
easy access to whatever you're looking for.
The next feature is related to gestures.
Earlier this year, YouTube introduced a gesture that enables you to double tap on the left
or right side of a video in order to either fast forward or rewind 10 seconds.
YouTube also introduced a feature that lets you jump between videos using one single swipe of your
hand: left for the previous video and right for the next one.
If you're familiar with using the speed up or slow down tool on videos on your desktop.
YouTube has now featured this tool onto their app for you to enjoy videos at whichever pace you prefer.
YouTube stated that soon, the YouTube player will continuously change shape to match the
video format you're watching, such as vertical, square or horizontal automatically -- including
vertical videos without having black bars on the sides!
Also, YouTube recently introduced a feature that lets you view a row of suggested videos
while you're watching a video in full screen.
They also stated that they are now working on converting the area below the player so
that you can browse videos in new ways.
Looking beyond the YouTube app itself, They've also been working on a new desktop design
-- it is now officially available to all users around the world.
The new look implements Material Design to YouTube and presents a modern, simple and
intuitive user experience where video content stands out.
One of the most popular features of this new desktop design is the Dark Theme feature,
in which turns the white background to greyish, black
-- and it gives you more of a cinematic look when you're watching any videos.
One of the most obvious changes to YouTube is the logo and icon itself.
The updated logo combines a cleaned up version of the YouTube wordmark and icon, forming
a more compliant design that works a lot better across a variety of platform or devices
-- which is a lot easier and clearer to see.
In the last few months, YouTube has been spending time addressing concerns from advertisers
regarding their ads placement.
With new restrictions and guidelines implemented, many creators have seen their earnings starting
to normalise once again as the advertisers resumed their campaigns.
Because of these recent changes in the guidelines and algorithms, however, some videos remained
classified as not suitable for all advertisers -- therefore limiting the number of ads being placed on those videos.
If you would like to learn more about this, you can always head over to YouTube Help website
for further information regarding monetization troubleshooting or any other issues
to see what actions you can take on your video.
The link will also be in the description box down below, so definitely check that out.
A few months ago YouTube introduced a new feature called creator hearts.
You can now heart a favourite comment to show some love and appreciation to the person who wrote it.
Creators can also pin comments they like to the top of their comment feed to be sure that
all your fans can see them.
Youtube has been working on a new approach to comments that will help your subscribers
get even more value out of your channel.
YouTube calls them comment topics, and in this feature, it gives the viewers ability
to browse comments accordingly to the topics being discussed.
It's an excellent way to highlight what's different and interesting about the conversations
you have on your YouTube channel.
The great thing about this is the fact that it is absolutely optional,
so if you don't feel like having the comment topics, you can always delete individual topics or disable
them altogether anytime you want.
Last but definitely not least, is the new monetization tool called Super Chat.
This feature is designed to let you, the content creator, interact directly with your subscribers.
It is also a new, great way to earn a side income from YouTube as well.
So here's how it works: during live streams, fans can pay you highlighted chat messages
that stand out from the crowd.
YouTube stated that over 65% of channels that use Super Chat have more than doubled their income during live streams.
Super Chat's already available for creators in 21 countries and they recently just added 17 new countries to that list!
For more information regarding the Super Chat feature, you can visit YouTube's Creator Blog
or by simply click the link in down below.
So that's all I have for today guys. Thank you so much for watching!
