YouTube updates analytics and community tools for content creators

YouTube is introducing new experimental features, including improved analytics and community communication tools for content creators, as well as improved collaboration with brands.

"YouTube is testing a “data story” feature in its Studio mobile app that helps creators understand their video performance. This tool provides a visual breakdown of the first 24 hours’ metrics, making it easier to identify key performance drivers."

🚀 Data Stories, currently in testing, provide content creators with a visual breakdown of metrics in the first 24 hours after a video is published, making it easier to identify key factors affecting performance.

• 📌 YouTube renamed the "Comments" tab to "Community" and introduced a "most relevant" filter for comments.

The new "most relevant" filter, which is currently being tested with a select group of users, analyzes channel comments and highlights opportunities for user engagement, such as questions from viewers.

"YouTube is allowing eligible creators to initiate video linking requests with advertisers. This option is available to YouTube Partner Program members with more than 4,000 subscribers and focuses specifically on Shorts content."
