## Summary

YouTube's Creator Roundup video announces a suite of new features for creators, including expanded collaboration limits, the ability to turn playlists into shows, upgraded Community tools, and the expansion of Gifts and Jewels to more countries. Each update is presented as a quick tip to help creators grow, engage, and monetize their content.

### Key Points

- **Increase in Collaborator Limit** [00:00] — Creators can now add up to 10 collaborators to a video or Short. When collaborators are added, the video may be shown to all audiences, increasing discoverability for everyone involved.
- **Turn Playlists Into Shows** [00:12] — All YPP creators can now convert playlists into shows, unlocking features like a dedicated show page, structured seasons and episode organization, and a specialized TV layout. Shows may also surface in 'Recommended shows' and 'Continue watching' shelves on TV home pages.
- **How to Enable Show Features** [00:40] — To turn a playlist into a show, go to YouTube Studio, then Content, then Playlists. Hover over the playlist, click the three-dot menu, and select 'Add show features.' Once enabled, you can organize videos into seasons and episodes and add metadata like descriptions and artwork.
- **Community Updates** [00:57] — Creators can share exclusive updates using Community-only posts, which stay contained in the Community page rather than the public Posts tab. Creators can assign moderators via the three-dot menu, and viewers can quote original text or image posts to spark discussions. Communities are now easier to discover in mobile Search and via a new Spotlight Card in the YouTube Music app.
- **Gifts and Jewels Expansion** [01:28] — Gifts and Jewels are expanding to 45 more countries, including Japan, India, and the U.K. Viewers purchase digital items called Jewels to unlock gifts during live streams, and creators earn Rubies based on the number of Jewels redeemed on their content.
- **Monetization Details** [01:55] — Creators earn Rubies based on the number of Jewels redeemed on their content. Links are provided for more information on getting started and the full list of available countries.

## Transcript

You can now add up to 10 collaborators to your  video or Short! When you add collaborators   the video may be shown to all of your audiences,  increasing discoverability for everyone involved. 
For more info on adding collaborators or accepting  a collaboration invite, check out our full video   linked below. All YPP creators can now turn  playlists into shows. Turning a playlist into a   show gives you access to features like a dedicated  show page on your channel, structured seasons and  
episode organization, and a specialized TV layout.  Shows may also surface in "Recommended shows" and   "Continue watching" shelves on TV home pages. Make  sure the content you turn into a show is episodic,  
and has a consistent theme or narrative. To turn  a playlist into a show, head to YouTube Studio,   then Content, then Playlists. Hover over the  playlist and click the three dot menu. Then   click "Add show features." Once show features are  enabled, you can organize your videos into seasons  
and episodes and add metadata like descriptions  and artwork for the show. We’re introducing new   updates to Communities! For creators, you can  now share exclusive updates, using Community-only   posts, which stay tucked inside your Community  page rather than your public Posts tab.  
You can also use the three-dot menu in the main  YouTube app to instantly assign moderators, who   will receive a notification and a custom profile  badge. Next, your viewers can now quote your   original text or image posts directly into a new  post to spark discussions. And, Communities are  
now easier to discover in mobile Search results  and a new Spotlight Card inside the YouTube Music   mobile app. We’re expanding gifts and Jewels  to 45 more countries including Japan, India,  
and the U.K. Gifts are a fun and interactive  way for your viewers to express appreciation   and react in real-time during your live streams.  Viewers purchase digital items called Jewels to   unlock these gifts, and you’ll earn Rubies based  on the number of Jewels redeemed on your content.
