[00:00] Hey Creators! Welcome back to the new&nbsp; year! Let’s dive into this month’s Roundup! The YouTube Create app is easy to use, and will empower you to&nbsp;create like a pro. Check out the links below for&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:13] availability, to download the app, and to watch&nbsp; our full video on how to use YouTube Create. We’re rolling out the ability to stream across&nbsp; formats. This new feature automatically crops your&nbsp;&nbsp; horizontal live streams into vertical layouts,&nbsp; while also providing a single, unified chat&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:28] experience for your viewers. To stream across&nbsp; formats head to YouTube Studio on desktop,&nbsp;&nbsp; then Live Control Room. Choose Stream Settings&nbsp; then Layout and Select “Dual stream.” When you&nbsp;&nbsp; go live from Studio the vertical layout will&nbsp; be automatically generated from your horizontal&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:43] stream. Viewers in the Shorts feed on mobile will&nbsp; be shown vertical streams, while other audiences&nbsp;&nbsp; will see the horizontal layout. We hope this&nbsp; helps your streams reach more viewers. Try it out! Veo is now available for everyone on Shorts and&nbsp; YouTube Create. Now you can describe a scene,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:59] character and any audio you want to hear. This&nbsp; can include sound effects, character speech and&nbsp;&nbsp; ambient audio such as rain, animal sounds&nbsp; or forest noises. Veo will then generate an&nbsp;&nbsp; 8 second clip based on your prompt! We hope this&nbsp; update helps you easily create even more immersive&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:19] generative videos. Try it out when creating&nbsp; a Short in YouTube or the YouTube Create app! We’re expanding Channel Guidelines, and bringing&nbsp; them to Communities! Channel guidelines will&nbsp;&nbsp; now be available to creators with access&nbsp; to intermediate and advanced features on&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:31] YouTube. Channel guidelines are specific rules you&nbsp; define that outline the types of conversations you&nbsp;&nbsp; want to see in comments, live chats, and in&nbsp; your Community. To set up Channel Guidelines&nbsp;&nbsp; from YouTube Studio on desktop, click on Channel&nbsp; Settings, then Community Moderation, then Channel&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:48] Guidelines. Viewers will see channel guidelines&nbsp; on mobile the first time they post a comment,&nbsp;&nbsp; live chat and to a Community on a channel&nbsp; that has guidelines enabled. In addition,&nbsp;&nbsp; viewers will also see channel guidelines at the&nbsp; top of a videos’ comment section. Remember, all&nbsp;&nbsp;
[02:02] content, including your channel guidelines, must&nbsp; follow YouTube's Community Guidelines. Try it out! We’ve made improvements to the Inspiration&nbsp; Tab in YouTube Studio to help make it easier&nbsp;&nbsp; to come up with video concepts that feel true&nbsp; to you. This new suite of tools is built to&nbsp;&nbsp;
[02:17] empower you with data-driven ideas so you can&nbsp; create with confidence. On the Inspiration Tab,&nbsp;&nbsp; you’ll now see your feed with nine ideas based&nbsp; on your channel’s data—like your last videos,&nbsp;&nbsp; comments with questions from your community,&nbsp; and titles that your audience is watching.&nbsp;&nbsp;
[02:32] We’ve also added more control to the visual&nbsp; experience. Click the settings icon to set&nbsp;&nbsp; your image preferences to view ideas in&nbsp; a "Digital painting" or "Sketch" style,&nbsp;&nbsp; or disable images entirely. And you can now&nbsp; use the back and forward arrows on the feed&nbsp;&nbsp;
[02:46] to navigate between your iterations; you won’t&nbsp; lose any idea you explored until you reload the&nbsp;&nbsp; page. Inspiration is available in global markets&nbsp; on web browsers, supporting English content. We’re excited to announce that Nano&nbsp; Banana, Google’s image editing model,&nbsp;&nbsp;
