This week, our @youtube teams introduced new ways to help @youtubecreators earn and made improvements to the viewing experience on TVs:
📺We’ve started testing our conversational AI tool on TVs, so viewers can ask questions about the video they’re watching via the Ask button or their TV’s remote.
🇨🇦We’re bringing Gifts and Jewels to vertical live streams in Canada (with more markets coming soon). Viewers get a real-time way to show appreciation for their favorite creators, and creators unlock a new revenue stream.
🛍️We've improved the Shorts shopping experience for our YouTube Premium members. Now, when creators tag products in their content, interactive stickers make it easier to buy shoppable items right on screen and help creators boost their sales.
The future of late night is on YouTube 🌃▶️
As the new stars and studios, @youtubecreators are reinventing entertainment (including the traditional talk show format) and building the media companies of the future.
Over the last few weeks, our teams made @youtube more accessible than ever with expanded tools, features, and more:
🗣️Auto Dubbing is now available to all YouTube channels, with an expanded library of 27 languages. And 8 of those languages are powered by Expressive Speech, which captures the original tone, pacing, and energy of a speaker. Plus, new language controls let you decide which languages you want to hear and read on YouTube.
🌎Ask Studio, your creative partner in Studio, has expanded to 30 new countries and markets across Europe and Latin America
🏷️Our YouTube Shopping Affiliate Program is live in 🇯🇵 so @youtubecreators can earn by tagging products from partners like @Rakuten
🥽YouTube XR, our new native app for visionOS, is now available on Apple Vision Pro in 🇰🇷🇦🇪🇸🇬🇯🇵🇹🇼🇭🇰🇦🇺🇫🇷🇩🇪🇬🇧🇺🇸🇨🇦
🇦🇲@youtubecreators in Armenia will soon be able to join the YouTube Partner Program, our global community of over 3M creators who have turned their passion into a business on YouTube
