YouTube has introduced a new feature allowing creators to reply to comments with voice messages of up to 30 seconds. To use this feature, tap the sound wave icon below a comment. Currently, it is available only to a small group of iOS creators, but YouTube plans to expand access in the future.
Voice replies make interactions with subscribers more personal and engaging, helping creators build stronger connections with their audience. At the moment, this feature is limited to creators on their own channels, but it may become available to regular viewers later.
Promoting Shorts in the App
YouTube has also introduced a new “Promote” option for Shorts within YouTube Studio, adds NIXSOLUTIONS. This allows creators to boost their Shorts’ reach directly in the app by paying for promotion. While this method doesn’t offer the same advanced targeting as Google Ads, it provides a quick and simple way to increase views and attract more interested viewers.
These updates aim to enhance engagement and expand creators’ promotional options. We’ll keep you updated as more features become available.
