Creator Insider is an informal YouTube channel to share information from the YouTube Creator technical team with the wider Creator community. We will feature different people talking about the products they work on and changes we are making so you have more context. Please note this is not an official YouTube channel and is an experiment.

Could you also include the timings of clicking the `like' and `subscribe' buttons into the analytics?
This way we can see how effective our `call to action' s are. I think this would be incredibly useful for creators.

I would really LOVE to be able to include custom Polls in Videos like in the live chat. Where I can ask questions and get feedback! This would make it so much easier to decide what direction to take my content.

This should NOT be linked to comments if one wants to disable it. I do not want to make it available to my audience, then I need to fully disable comments section? It should be OPTIONAL.

REMINDER: This is what YouTube works on instead of fixing their copyright system and support system and creator payment system.

I like the idea as long as the reactions popping up constantly don't become a distraction or annoyance to the viewer and they click off the video

What do you mean, "We could opt out in a form sent to us"? I guess it was one line in a 3000 word document regarding "changes to our policy". I wish YT would take the attitude of "Here's a new feature, if you like it, here's how to get it" rather than, "This new potentially useless feature is being forced upon you".

Will it be available to turn off ONLY reactions if needed and NOT comments? Running a how to channel it would be nice to see those reactions but if it’s distracting to learning I’d like the ability to turn off reactions displaying but not comments. Does that make sense? If possible it would be amazing as a creator to see the reactions and analytics even if displaying reactions gets turned off. Not sure if that would be a future possibility but wanted to give that feedback and perspective. As a full time YouTuber this is something I’ve looked forward to for a while and so glad YT has started to experiment. Thank you!

I have two issues and/questions: 1.) I have been getting notifications that viewers leave a comment on one of my videos but when I go to view the comment and reply, it says, "This comment is no longer available." I have researched this issue but have been unable to find a solution. This is very frustrating because I love interacting with my viewers and always reply or heart the comment. 2.) How do I find videos of mine that are not in a playlist?

Timed reactions? Meh... Why hasn't YouTube fixed and released Super Thanks instead of consuming resources on every shiny object that comes along?

[neilmossey]

This is great thanks.
But is there any chance we can please get A/B thumbnail testing please.
It feels like we get so so little help with thumbnails from YouTube studio, and yet they are - and YouTube reminds us at every turn - absolutely crucial.
Yet we get so little help with creating or testing them.
Why?
Why cant we download the 3 suggested thumbnails to turn into something better?
Why is there no text/designer built in to create thumbnails?
Is it to keep adobe and canva in business?
But most of all...
... why is there no A/B thumbnail testing facility please?

All new features are great... but they dont seem quite as vital to creators?
Thanks in advance for any response or development with thumbnails.

Hi Anna, when can we expect to see Community Posts on tablet devices?

[paulmcwhorter]

I hope you all would consider offering re-usable cards. It takes time to set a card up for a video, and it would be great if we could use cards we have already defined. Like we can import end screens from previous videos, let us import cards from previous videos. Thanks for considering this request.

[TierZoo]

Looks like a really fun way to get feedback on videos!

[Dadsden]

I'm actually really excited about this!! Let's go!

[ImageMaven]

Cool. Can't wait to see this rollout. I'm still patiently waiting for "Super Thanks". Any word on that feature?

[Cromartie]

Speaking of timed reactions, any update on the time stamps for community guideline violations?

[menamescho]

Interesting update, seems like a great idea on the surface. Can't wait to see it in action 🤠👍

[TheNarcAlert]

I love hearing about all the new features, shame so few of them make it to us smaller creators...wheres Super Thanks? How about the media kit help? Why are these always only for huge creators?

[make.anything]

This sounds so fun! Thank you for continuing to experiment and innovate :)
