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.

Can we get an update on A/B thumbnail testing? Many of my creator colleagues have the feature, and honestly it feels like an unfair advantage for those that have access to it. Please get this rolled out to everyone asap to level the playing field for all of us.

You keep asking for comments and suggestions. I've mentioned this before and I'll mention it again. It would be helpful if YouTube would put more importance on playlists. They are more than just a convenient way to organize videos. It would help if we could search on playlists titles. It would also help is we could sort playlists manually or alphabetically (I don't mean the videos within playlists, I mean the playlists themselves). Anyway, thanks for the videos you make.

Community Posts are great! Thank you for working on this feature.
I gained 172 from YouTube Community posts within a single month.

It helps to connect with / grow your audience. If you read this and have not started with YouTube Community Posts yet, start today!
Image polls have the most engagement at the moment 🙂.

Can we please bring back adding links in the comments section. Most creators were using this feature legitimately for promoting their other videos and their products. Just because a few people abused it shouldn’t mean the innocent people should be not allowed because of it.

And why do third party music challengers continue to be allowed to make repeated erroneous claims against channels for music that the channels rightfully use? Didn't YouTube back in the day say repeat offenders would be banned? What happened there?

[airailimages]

So I recently received a bogus copyright claim on some music for which i own the rights, and the claimant chose to share revenue. This did not show up in Important Notifications as it used to... why is that? Please make sure that any and all threats to our channels, including revenue sharing, are called out in Important Notifications, because when someone makes a false claim on an old video, we might not see it right away to challenge it.

Really looking forward to A/B thumbnails!

[joannelumpkin]

Can we get info on why shorts won't get pushed even with over 5k views on previos ones, and a good swipe percentage? It's like 3 shorts will do well and the next 8 won't get shown and please don't say it's tagging because they'll have the same tags and have a good swipe rate as well as good interaction.

[PhilipMurphyExtra]

Being one of the first to a creative insider YouTube video has being a honour

[PreppingWithSarge]

Could we please have clickable links back for shorts? It was a way for creators to make a little revenue. I know some channels were supposedly scamming their audience, why not just punish them, instead of everyone?
Also, can we please get amazon affiliates for the shop/product shelf ? most creators prefer that over shopify?
Thanks

There is a huge problem with YouTube membership levels: Currently, we cannot change perk levels without having to cancel all those who are members in those perk levels. But in countries like Turkey, due to absurd levels of inflation, 10₺ today is meaningless when compared to what it meant when that perk level had been selected 2 years ago. We can't change the minimum amounts because it would potentially cancel memberships of hundreds or thousands of people, depending on the level, considerably damaging the income of the creator. Please check how Patreon does this to allow those who are in a current level stay, but allow creators to change what the newcoming members see in membership levels.

I am glad to see the improvement to the Community Tab. I feel that the Community Tab really is underused and underappreciated.

[MudTheGamer]

I am glad to see the improvement to the Community Tab. I feel that the Community Tab really is underused and underappreciated. A lot of subscribers either don't care about community posts or, perhaps, don't really see a notification? I don't care about "getting to a million subscribers!", but I care about having at least a handful of people interact on the community tab. :)

[alexthegrape]

I always love when the community tab gets some love.

I personally like using it to check in with my audience and to play guessing games and spark a convo in the comments

On iPhone yrstudio can we have the thumbnail below the edit share buttons. They are currently hidden in the notch. This is the only way to see a full size thumbnail before publishing so it would nice not having to pull it down to view.

[LocoLeighton]

Thanks for the update and for adding the Shorts tab in Desktop Studio.

[SilverFoxForestsDesigns]

Having shorts and main vids sprate is a major issue and slow down as you have to go between 2 areas to check whats scheduled. please give creators the option to control thier pages

[ScrappysRustics]

Will other online website platforms ever be available to connect a store to YouTube? I currently have Wordpress. I don’t want to switch to Shopify but it’s looking like I may have too. 🙃

[DriverSensei]

Can we please get rid of that tap emoji ❤🎉 that does absolutely nothing for analytics or the creator? It's not like tapping the emoji during a live stream actually changes the like count. It's doing too much, in the way of moderators and commenters, and just trying to give Tiktok vibes without any useful data to creators.

[SamMBacci]

I want youtube to allow their go live together feature to be available on desktop
