YouTube is adding a new feature called Community Notes to help viewers engage better with videos.
First, you’ll need an active YouTube account that follows the platform’s rules. YouTube will be testing how helpful these notes are with the help of outside reviewers. They’ll use this feedback to make the feature even better.
Right now, only a few users in the US will get invites to try out Community Notes. You might get an invitation through email or in YouTube’s Creator Studio.
Viewers can rate these notes as “very helpful,” “somewhat helpful,” or “not helpful.” They can also say why they feel that way, like if the note uses good sources or is easy to understand.
YouTube will use a smart system to decide which notes to show under videos. It will give priority to notes that get positive ratings from different types of viewers. This helps make sure the most useful notes stand out. YouTube is also working to prevent false information from spreading.
The feature will first start on mobile devices in the US, with plans to expand it more widely later on. YouTube expects to make improvements based on what users say and how well the feature works.
