Youtube announced several updated for creators which involve improved analytics for live streams, in its latest video of creators insider channels.
For the first time, youtube allows a breakdown of its visitors in its Livestream in addition to its regular uploads.
Also, they have introduced some experimental smart replied features and news about channel memberships.
Here are some details about the important updates for creators.
Live Stream Breakdowns in YouTube Analytics:
Improvements are rolling out to Youtube studio with respect to analytics on live streams.
In the past creators weren't able to differentiate between the analytics between the Livestream and that from an on-demand replay.
That means creators couldn't make out the number of views that's being generated from a premiere/Livestream, and how many views came from a traditional upload.
To fix this problem, Youtube has added a new breakdown to the Youtube Analytics advanced mode known as "publish format".
The new publish format allows creators to see user activity in a chart that breaks downs the data by:
- Live: Total number of views received during a live stream.
- Premiere: Total number of views received during the scheduled premiere of a video.
- Upload: Total number of views received by videos uploaded in a traditional manner.
For the first time, creators can now determine how many views were received from a live stream versus a replay afterward.
Other Updates To Youtube:
Expansion of Smart Replies:
Smart replies are a new feature introduced experimentally in Youtube. They have suggested replies for a comment in Youtube that means Youtube creators will now get action to set of suggested replies for a comment, which is customizable that is we can change the suggested comment accordingly based on our interest before posting it.
Comments that are generated as smart replies are based on the most common replies from YouTube creators across the platform.
YouTube is expanding this experiment to more creators. If you now have access to it you will see it in YouTube studio in the comment section.
Removal of Channel Bulletins:
Youtube will be deprecating the channel bulletin features which features the channel activity feed on the home page. It is deprecated as it is seldom used.
However, Youtube creators can save and export previous channel bulletins until May 18, 2020.
Youtube Membership:
Youtube began rolling out channel memberships recently, it is similar to Patreon-like subscription service.
Youtube memberships allow fans to pay a recurring fee to a channel in exchange for exclusive perks.
Like Patreon, the types of perks vary from channel to channel.
Perks have to be reviewed by Youtube's review team but in the rise of the Coronavirus pandemic the reviews are slow and so it’s pausing the expansion of memberships to more countries and more channels for the time being.
Channels that have access to the membership feature, but have not had their perks reviewed, might not be able to utilize the membership feature until YouTube’s review capacity has returned to normal.
Suggested Topics On The Homepage - Happy News to iOS and Desktop Users:
Youtube has rolled out the suggested topics feature for android in June 2019, and it has helped many users in getting their interesting videos on their homepage and allows more control over video recommendations.
Now, suggested topics are rolling out to users on iOS and desktop as well.
