New YouTube Updates: Posts & Permissions, Quiz Posts, and More | Creator Roundup

Welcome to the Latest Creator Roundup!

Hi there, I’m Warren, your guide to the newest features YouTube has rolled out for its creative community. These updates are tailored to make your journey as a creator smoother and your audience’s interaction with your content deeper. Without further ado, let’s explore what’s new!

Personalized Dashboard with Hideable Upload Rankings

YouTube now enables you to tidy up your dashboard by offering the ability to hide the “latest published content” card. This neat little feature works seamlessly on both desktop and mobile. Just a click on the arrow icon on the card and you can tuck it away to your preference, keeping the dashboard cleaner. Your choice is remembered, too, ensuring the card stays minimized when you navigate away or add new content.

Streamlined Permissions for Enhanced Security

Managing your channel just got a lot safer and more intuitive. Permissions are now integrated throughout YouTube’s interface, giving channel managers and editors clear-cut authority to upload Shorts, post comments, and more—right from the permissions hub. This revamp is aimed at giving your team members access tailored for their role and tasks.

Broader Engagement with Posts

We’re excited to announce that posts are now more accessible than ever! Regardless of where your viewers are on YouTube, they can now see and interact with your content. And for a bit of added fun, we’ve launched quiz posts. Engage your audience in a new, playful way by creating quizzes! Here’s how:

• Select the quiz icon when you’re crafting a new post.
• Enter your question, then provide up to four answer choices.
• Mark the correct answer and, if you like, add an explanation to accompany it.

Take this opportunity to test your audience’s knowledge and spark lively discussions. Your creativity coupled with these tools aims to build even stronger connections with your fans.

We’re thrilled to present these updates and are curious to hear your take on them. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below—we treasure your feedback and look forward to seeing how you’ll use these new features to enhance your storytelling on YouTube.
