@iopred hi

sweet the algo got fixed follow me for more 💩

11.5M

11M people watching Brazil v Morocco right now on @YouTube. 11 million people at the same time - and it keeps climbing. And we're only on day 3 #worldcup

@helyearelyea Play and tell me. I trust you

Is this game as good as reviewers say it is???

@ChantelleHills1 @reneritchie Heard. Can't promise an ETA, but will see what we can do!

Hi @reneritchie I have a new wishlist item for moderators... The New live Chat translation should also be translated for moderators - it seems an odd choice that this is for the creator level only.

@mws Gotta say - I love how hyped you get about new announcements. Keep it up, man

@Birdiex94x @mws There's 2 flavours: 1) Send 1 stream and we'll automatically "auto crop" to the middle for your vertical 2) Send 2 streams: horizontal & vertical

@BarbaraEMac @mws Awesome! If we’re using a software like SLOBS where you create your own vertical layout will that be the one utilised for the Portrait stream or will it just automatically take the central 30% or whatever number it is of the landscape one?

YouTube Streamers are gonna be WINNING THEY’RE ADDING MULTI-ASPECT STREAMS This means you can do Vertical and Horizontal Streams at the SAME TIME and it’ll MERGE both Chats and Streams into one link 🫣 Guys.. this is fkn huge because your Vertical Streams can show up in the Shorts Feed That alone can get you in front of so many new viewers and help u grow as a Streamer

@FanatikGaming1 @mws Rolling out now

@mws is it added or whats the eta?

NO WAY YOUTUBE IS ADDING THIS Introducing: YouTube Live-to-Shorts YouTube will now use Gemini AI to analyze your Live Streams and find Short-Form worthy clips from it WHEN YOU END STREAM, THEY’LL BE READY AS SHORTS TO POST 🤯 One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen wtf

@xDeaks @mws Try it and see. Lemme know how it goes

@mws As someone who genuinely struggles with short form content, I’m excited to see how this goes

@JackieNoJutsu @mws Each have different timelines - some are rolling out now, some over the coming months, some a lil bit longer (but the wait will be worth it!)

@mws Do you have a date on when all these features are live?

Forgot to mention - I got a new job a few weeks ago. I'll let you guess what I'm doing now 👀. Beyond PUMPED

@Clintus @mws @YouTubeInsider

@mws @YouTubeInsider

@BigCrafterTv @zachbussey NICE

@zachbussey I tried it a couple of times in the past 2 weeks, and its actually a great feature!

YouTube is rolling out the ability to do mid-stream Public-to-Members-Only Streams. The feature will allow you to go live publicly, then at a certain point, you can tell everyone that the rest of the stream is Members-only and quickly transition to that.

At #MadeOnYouTube, we shared that on average, over 30% of daily logged-in viewers watched live content in Q2 2025. That’s why we're making our biggest live streaming upgrade yet. Here’s what’s coming soon to live: Practice before going live: Rehearse content and test your setup without a live audience. When you're ready, switch to a public live stream directly from the practice session. Playables on Live: Play from a library of 75+ games while interacting through chat, and monetize the stream like any other broadcast. New ways to get discovered: Stream in both horizontal and vertical formats simultaneously with a single chat, react live to other streams on mobile, and use new AI-powered highlights that automatically create Shorts from livestreams. More ways to monetize: Side-by-side ads will offer a less intrusive way to earn revenue without interrupting a stream and channel membership creators will be able to easily transition from public to members-only livestreams.

@ThatBaldGamer @BobbySolez @mws YASSS

@BarbaraEMac @BobbySolez @mws I'm all for this!

YouTube Streamers are about to see crazy growth bro Now that you’ll be able to merge Horizontal and Vertical Streams together The amount of new viewers who’ll find your Vertical Stream in the Shorts feed will be ridiculous lmao Take advantage of this if you Stream

@itsLachyz @ITZEJR_ @Big_E Sadly, we had to turn off our trusted tester for a lil bit to squash some bugs

@BarbaraEMac @ITZEJR_ @Big_E can streamers request for early access for it? seems like such an awesome feature!!

YouTube combining Horizontal & Vertical Streams to one chat which CAN be pushed into the YouTube Shorts feed might be the biggest creator W of 2025.. YouTube says: "First, we’re adding a way to reach viewers on every screen by streaming across formats. Soon, creators will be able to broadcast in both horizontal and vertical formats simultaneously, with a single unified chat room to bring the entire community together in one seamless experience."

@vidIQ Great summary - appreciate the support 🫶

🌍Big picture YouTube is making livestreaming easier, more discoverable, and more profitable, directly shaped by creator feedback. This is their most comprehensive live update to date.

🚨YouTube just announced its biggest livestreaming update ever. From easier ways to go live, to new discovery features, to monetization upgrades, this is a massive overhaul designed to help live creators grow. Here’s everything you need to know: 🧵
