Since last year, I have seen YouTube catching up with other social media platforms through developing features. Besides, it has also provided creators with advanced features to enhance their user experience. Now, where some of the YouTube updates were a little controversial and questionable, it has also developed some incredible features to help creator in their YouTube journey. Today, we will see the top ones to stay ahead of the game.
5 Top YouTube Updates You Shouldn’t Miss In 2025
Here are the most talked about YouTube updates of 2025 so far.
1. YouTube Removing Number Of Views
A while ago, there was a rumor that YouTube was removing the number of views and the updated date metrics of the video. VidIQ also highlighted the news by uploading a post on Reddit about it. However, YouTube has an entirely different comment. It says that if you cannot see the metric, it is likely to be a bug caused by browser extensions. Metrics are crucial to gauge the video’s engagement. This news still remains a rumor, and YouTube denies it.
2. YouTube Inspiration Tab
In the last season of 2024, YouTube rebrands the “Research Tab” already existing feature into the “YouTube AI Inspiration Tab” with minor upgradation. It is already available for everyone. To access the feature, go to YouTube Studio and navigate to the content tab. You will see the “Inspiration Tab” right before you. The Inspiration tab helps creator overcome creative block and brainstorm incredible ideas for their next video.
3. YouTube Community Tab
The YouTube community tab is used to announce, promote videos, and share behind-the-scenes and a trailer of your videos. It allows you to make text posts, images, videos, quizzes, polls, and even schedule posts. This is one of the YouTube updates that helps creators interact with their audience and increase engagement like nothing. YouTube has recently renamed the community tab as a ‘Post’ and developed advanced features to enhance the creator-user experience. According to a recent announcement, YouTube has introduced a powerful text editor that will help make the text of your content visually attractive.
Well, not just that, hear some more! You soon get the YT dream screen feature for your community post content, just like you have for YouTube shorts.
4. YouTube AI-Generated Tools
YouTube is in the air for new innovations and experiments with AI tools for its creators. Some tools are available to a certain number of creators that haven’t discussed openly with other creators. One of them is a text summary of a YouTube video. This feature is curated so that viewers can quickly access the answer to the query they are seeking answers to. Besides, YouTube plans to add a chatbot within the Creator YouTube Studio App that will guide them to the relevant section they need help with.
Now, I know how we have talked about the YouTube Hype feature of a quarterback. This feature was only allowed for creators with 500 to 500,000 subscribers. Creators use this feature to hype the video they think deserves more eyes. Each creator is given a maximum of 3 hypes every day, and if they exceed the limit and want more, they need to get paid hypes. Hype is currently available for only three countries, including Brazil, Turkey, and Taiwan. And YouTube is already testing the paid Hype version for Brazilian creators.
5. YouTube Studio Updates
YouTube revamps the content tab, allowing you to give a quick overview of all your content formats on your mobile. This is to help the creator understand how each content format works and benefits. The YouTube comment tab has also been renamed as the ‘Community’ tab.
The tab is only renamed on the desktop. The mobile version of YouTube Studio has a completely different look and tab name. It shows comment count, regular views, most active fans, and recent comments. However, you can still filter out YouTube analytics filters to provide well-established metrics.
Conclusion
