The new YouTube feature lets creators correct mistakes in their videos even after they’ve been published. Now, creators don’t need to take down the video or make it private. Creators can simply rectify the mistakes by mentioning them in the timestamp. When viewers arrive, they will be notified of the correction.
How to Add Corrections to YouTube Video?
Go to YouTube Studio, select Content, and choose the video you want to correct. In the description section, type Correction or Corrections: Currently, you have to write in the English language. Type the exact timestamp where you want to make the correction and add text to explain the correction. If you have multiple corrections, type them line by line, with exact timestamps, and hit save.
With this update, whenever viewers watch the corrected video and reach the exact timestamp, they’ll see an info pop-up. When they click that box, they’ll be directed to the correction entry and see the correct information.
For example, in a video, you mentioned the year 2015 at (3:23), but the actual year was 2016. Then you can type the exact timestamp (3:23) and correct the information by entering the correct year. When viewers reach that duration, they will pop up a box displaying the correct information. Make sure the already written description is not hampered; you can use YouTube description generators to better optimize the video and correct it.
Conclusion
In the latest YouTube update of adding corrections to videos, creators can rectify their mistakes even after publishing the video. They can select the video and add the correct information in the description box. Viewers can see the proper information by watching the video. Lastly, the updates make it easy for creators to make changes to that video without losing the engagement.
