In this week’s news update for YouTube creators, the company announced several updates that will make it easier for channels to interact with their audience and better understand their video performance.
Replying To Comments With YouTube Shorts
YouTube is rolling out an update to how creators reply to comments with Shorts.
Previously, Shorts could be featured in comments, but with the new update, Shorts will appear as replies in the comments feed.
This means viewers can watch the original short or long-form video that someone commented on, which creates a new opportunity for channels to engage with their audience and transform comments into content.
The update will first be available to creators on iOS this week, with an Android launch planned in the coming months.
Data Stories For Posts
In addition to the new comment feature, YouTube is introducing data stories for posts.
Data stories are cards in YouTube Studio analytics that help break down complex topics about a channel’s performance into bite-sized pieces of information.
With this new data story, creators can better understand how their posts reach their audience.
