New Youtube Features Updates
Google, who owns the social networking sites Google+ and YouTube, is looking for ways to better integrate the two in order to spur on Google+ growth. And it’s really no surprise when you consider that every second, one hour of video is uploaded to the site and each minute, 60 hours are viewed with over 4 billion views per day. The social video giant announced through its official blog channel some of its new YouTube features updates that offers you more ways to watch, share, and enjoy the channels and videos you love so much. These new features include being able to easily promote your Google+ profile on YouTube, posting to your channel feed, and enhanced annotations on videos.
Here is a full list of the new YouTube features updates team shared with us today:
New YouTube Features Update | Google+ profile on YouTube
Want to share your Google+ profile or Google+ Page on your YouTube channel? We’ve added a feature to let you promote your presence on G+. We’re looking for other ways to bring the benefits of Google+ to your YouTube channel, so as always please give us your feedback!
New YouTube Features Update | Post videos/playlists to your own feed
You can now share videos and playlists in your Channel Feed by posting a Channel Bulletin. When you’re on your Feed tab you’ll see a box “Post to Feed,” where you can enter a comment and add a link to share a video or a playlist. When you’ve posted the bulletin, it will show up in your Channel Feed with your comment below the video. Viewers who are subscribed to your channel will be notified when you post to your feed in their homepage feed.
New YouTube Features Update | Homepage and Channel Feeds
After experiments and lots of your feedback, we’re releasing an update to how events are displayed in the feed. The update focuses on three main changes: (1) the video title is more prominent for upload and sharing events, (2) aggregated events now feature a “+more” button which will bring more attention to the event than the previously smaller notification and (3) adding videos to a playlist has a new cleaner styling.
New YouTube Features Update | Annotations
Customizing your videos is easier with our new annotations features. We’ve been adding more options to the Annotations Editor like a new annotation type, a full color palette and a new timeline. We’ve also added annotation styles, which lets you choose a templated design to apply to your videos. You can quickly pick a design for your annotation and apply it your video. Start using these today in the Editor by clicking the arrow next to any upload in the Video Manager. Courtesy of: http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2012/02/youtube-release-notes-more-ways-to.html
