Shorts continue to gain popularity, and YouTube, naturally, wants to take advantage of this. The platform has begun testing a feed that will feature both long and short videos.

It may seem weird, but not long ago, the community raised the issue of thumbnails no longer playing an important role in video promotion. It all started with MrBeast’s interview with the TubeBuddy channel, where he expressed this opinion, justifying it with the introduction of the inline player, on which videos (primarily on mobile devices) start automatically, and therefore more attention should be paid to the first seconds of the video.

Choosing a name for a YouTube channel is an important step that should not be taken irresponsibly. While no one took it seriously at the very beginning of the platform’s emergence and everyone had fun as best they could, now the situation has changed dramatically. Therefore, with the right approach, you can make a real brand out of the name of your YouTube channel and go far beyond the video hosting service (surely, you can name a few such examples).

Recently, Instagram Team has decided to help creators and has posted a separate guide.

Now it seems that artificial intelligence has almost always been with us. However, AI became a functional tool only a couple of years ago, and it is still not entirely clear what this technology will lead to — will it help us, or is it time to look for John Connor? Okay, okay, let’s not get into that, but what’s important here is this: YouTube has introduced strict rules for labeling content created using artificial intelligence. Therefore, if you work with a virtual assistant and create images and videos with it, then it will be useful for you to learn how to properly label such materials so that the platform does not block your videos. Let’s go!

Instagram last week announced a major expansion of music capabilities in Reels. Now you can add up to 20 tracks to each video and visually combine audio with elements such as text, stickers, and clips while editing in the app.
