YouTube is debuting a new For You section for creators’ channels, personalized to whoever opens the page. It will start showing up on November 20th, according to a post from YouTube’s support account, which says the section will recommend “a mix of content from your channel to viewers based on their watch history.”Creators can turn the feature on or off in the customization menu under channel settings. Alternatively, clicking “more settings” under the “recommendations for your viewers” section pops up more controls for the new section. Creators can then decide if they want only shorts, livestreams, or full videos there — or all of those or a mix of two. There are also options to include all content or just recent material.The feature has been in testing for months; a video posted to the Creator Insider channel previewed it six months ago, and YouTube updated its test features and experiments page on August 8th discussing the test. The documentation says the feature was mandatory initially, but when it rolls out to everyone, creators can then opt out. (I was able to turn it off, so it seems as though that’s true now.)YouTube has been sliding TikTok-like features into its platform

Google is rolling out AI features to all of its products, one after another. Bard is popping up in apps like Docs, Sheets, and Gmail, while artificial intelligence arrived on Google Maps a couple of weeks ago. Now, the AI revolution is coming to YouTube, but only to a limited group.Google announced two new AI YouTube features in testing today. These features are rolling out to a small pool of testers at first, so you may or may not see them right away. However, the company is also opening testing to YouTube Premium subscribers. If you pay for YouTube, you can try these two AI features early.Summarize the comments with AIWhen you have access to YouTube’s new AI features, you’ll see a “✨Topics” button appear above the comments. Tap it, and YouTube will automatically sort the comments into “themes”: If multiple comments are talking about a similar thing, they’ll end up in one of these themes together. Google is hoping this feature makes it easier to read through unwieldy comments sections on viral videos. Google used a MrBeast video, “7 Days Stranded at Sea,” as an example in its announcement: When you choose Topics on this video, you might see

Edgar Cervantes / Android AuthorityYouTube started testing a three-strikes policy for people using ad blockers earlier this year. The company broadly rolled out this policy late last month, effectively barring viewers from using ad blockers.That got us wondering what you’ll do now that Google is expanding this policy. We posed this question to readers last week, and here’s what you told us.YouTube is blocking ad blockers: What will you do? Results Almost 2,300 votes were counted in this poll as of writing, and it turns out that a massive 63.1% of respondents say they’ll try ad-blocking methods for as long as they work.It looks like YouTube isn’t able to adequately block all ad blockers, so we can see why respondents would keep trying different ad-blocking solutions for now.In second place with 25.7% of the vote were the surveyed readers who said they’d quit YouTube and use an alternative. But there aren’t exactly any major alternatives to YouTube right now, save for the likes of DailyMotion and Vimeo. So I’m personally expecting most of these readers to keep using YouTube in some capacity.Otherwise, 5.9% of respondents said they’d subscribe to YouTube Premium in the wake of this policy. Finally, 5.28% of

YouTube is testing a new AI-powered chatbot that can converse with viewers to let them “dive deeper into the content they are watching.” The new conversational tool on YouTube will provide “answers to questions about the video you’re watching, recommendations for related content, and more, all without interrupting playback,” YouTube announced. The “YouChat” feature is available starting Monday to a “small number of people on a subset of videos.” In the next few weeks, it will roll out to YouTube Premium members in the U.S. on Android devices, the video platform said. Users who have access the experimental chatbot feature can access the tool by tapping the new “Ask” button beneath select videos and begin by asking questions about the video or choosing a suggested prompt. A YouTube spokesperson said the conversational tool does not use Google’s Bard chatbot. Rather, its responses “are generated by large language models that draw on information from the YouTube platform and the web,” according to the rep. YouTube released an animation showing how an example of how the “YouChat” conversational generative AI feature would work: In addition, YouTube is kicking the tires on another experimental generative AI feature that summarizes topics in large comment
