YouTube Rolls Out New Live Streaming Info Site And Metrics Display For Shorts

YouTube is making a few changes and some updates to its Creator Insider video for this year.

This entails the addition of an innovative metrics display for Shorts and some more interesting tool options for creative posting. In addition to that, users would be getting an exciting new live-streaming information site.

For starters, let’s look at the Shorts Metrics in line. The feature will arise as a remix report for its Shorts feature and that’s only going to be seen on smart devices across the Studio App. But there is news about a launch for Desktop too and that would be providing another way for creators to stay at the top of their game regarding how their Shorts is performing.

This remix report would feature all the highlights of creators’ Shorts content that were used to make other content on Shorts while highlighting the number of times a certain content had been remixed, alongside the views attained through such remix versions. The app says it’s another great way to keep track of how the creator’s Shorts clips are performing.

As you know, the platform’s Shorts venture is doing a great job overall with views reaching 1.5 billion on a monthly basis. We do see how this is the safest bet to assure the world that Shorts would be an integral component of the app’s ecosystem in the upcoming year. So if you’re a creator, you might want to take that into consideration.

On the other hand, the platform says it is adding a few new metrics to the display called Key Metrics that can be found in the app’s Studio. It’s just another direct way to get more upfront insights.

As recently declared by the platform, this happens to be the sole metric displayed in terms of the metrics card for different posts seen in Studio. By this week, the company hopes to roll out some more insights on additional metrics for this card. And that entails the likes as well as subscribers seen on mobile devices as well as the web.


At the end of it all, you do end up getting some more interesting data being displayed on this platform that may end up highlighting some more considerations for creators while making strategic decisions.

The app is also launching a unique section for overviews that entails live-streaming on the app’s Creators website. This has a full variety of different guides, pointers, and some exciting tips that explain the whole streaming strategy.

In case you are keen on venturing into the world of live streaming, you just might want to take such matters into consideration.

Last but not least, the app is launching a few innovative options for posting like an expansion of its Quiz section that has been in trial with some creators recently. Other than that, we could soon see the rollout of both graphic overlays and stickers for iOS users soon.

We are yet to be certain if Community Posts of the platform are still a very happening part of the app or not but we do feel it’s a great way to connect with the creator’s audiences. Hence, such additions like graphic overlays may make a certain post more intriguing for viewers and engaging in the long term.

So as you can see, these aren’t really major changes or huge updates from this app as the new year approaches. But we do find them to be some fairly interesting changes that might end up being worth your while when creating content on the app.
