Shorts, live broadcasts, and regular videos will now have their tab on a creator’s channel on YouTube thanks to an update to its website and mobile app. Previously, they were all grouped in a single list (via 9to5Google).
The change, according to the business, is the result of user input and will “make it easier for viewers to discover. The kinds of content they’re most interest in when exploring a creator’s channel page,” according to a support post.
When you visited a channel before the upgrade, you would see a tab titled “Videos,” which displayed a list of all the user’s uploads, including shorts, live streams, and regular-length videos.
Even though a filter enables you to alter the list’s display format, it is reset each time you leave the page, and thus, when you return, everything will be mixed up once more.
Beginning on Thursday, the modification that gives each category of material its tab should spread to additional people “in the following weeks.”
The only drawback to this strategy is that it can make it more difficult for completionists to watch all a channel produces because they prefer having everything on one screen. However, it’s a relief for me because many of the creators I follow will cut up portions of their longer works and upload them as shorts.
Previously, it had been a hassle to switch to the videos tab, browse a few thumbnails, and then remember that I needed to return to the top to activate the filter. Users who only want to view shorts and don’t want to filter out longer videos will also benefit from it.
That’s excellent news for Youtube and artists because the business just revealed that starting in 2019, creators in its Partner Program will receive a portion of the money from advertising that runs before shorts.
This would put the platform ahead of TikTok, which rewards producers through a creators’ fund and allows them to earn part of their own money through tips.
