YouTube has been rolling out exciting creator tools and updates. These changes aren’t just tweaks; they’re designed to make your experience smoother, more transparent, and better than ever before. From new features to improved tools, YouTube is focused on building trust and stronger connections with the audience. So, if you are a creator looking to level up, this roundup of the latest updates is packed with everything you need to know.
Seven YouTube Creator Tools To Enhance Your Experience
One of seven creators’ tool updates concerns longer YouTube shorts, which have already been discussed under YouTube-sponsored content update news. The longer shorts update concerns YT shorts, which are being expanded into videos if they are 1 to 3 minutes long.
Video Sharing From Other Apps
YouTube revamped the process of uploading content from other apps. You will now have direct access to the short creation tools when uploading your video content. This allows you to edit your YouTube shorts like in the original application.
Text-based Quiz Post
You have added quizzes to your YouTube shorts and stories to engage viewers, but this text-based quiz post is different. This YouTube creator tool lets you include images with your quizzes to make your multiple-choice questions more appealing. This is a new way to promote video on YouTube, as viewers are attracted to things that are pleasant for the eyes. You can only access this feature on Androids, but viewers can see your community posts on all devices.
Transform & Dreamscreen
YouTube testing AI-generated Dream screen backgrounds for YouTube shorts is now available for all creators with upgraded text input, known as the Transform tool. So, have you ever wished to give an advanced touch to your short text? Now, you can use the transform tool, which allows you to rephrase and customize text while crafting a post.
Brand Connect Expansion
Did you know YouTube has its own self-service platform called Brand Connect? It is now available for all eligible creators. The Brand Connect tab is under the Earn section in YouTube Studio. With the help of branch connect features, you can manage brand deals and provide a customizable media kit with audience insights.
Open Call Pilot Program
The open call pilot is a new program initiated by YouTube to make navigation easier for advertisers and creators. Through this program, advertisers can reach out to creators till December and ask them to create custom ads. Creators can review the request and determine whether they want to do it. As it is pronounced “open call,” this process makes it easier for the parties to make the contact hassle-free.
Camera Captured Content
Remember YouTube labeling AI-generated videos? Now, it is also labeling the original content as “camera-captured content,” which will tell both viewers and the creators where the content is coming from. This shows the credibility and authenticity of the content. This technology uses C2PA version 2.1 or higher to figure out the camera-captured content.
Conclusion
While most of the new features are set to roll out worldwide, some cool tools like Brand Connect will only be available in select regions for now. Right now, everything’s still in the testing phase, so it’s a bit of a waiting game to see what we’ll all get access to and when. But hang tight because we’ll all be in for some incredible updates once the full rollout happens. So, be ready to take our content to the next level together!
