## Transcript

Hey creators, let's dive into this month's roundup. We've listened to your feedback and updated the community moderation settings in YouTube Studio for a more intuitive experience. On desktop, the moderation settings have been reorganised under community moderation with
clear separate sections for content controls for comments and chat and user management for moderators. Plus, you can now access content controls on YouTube Studio Mobile as we continue
to bring more channel wide moderation power to your phone. We've updated product tagging to allow you to tag multiple products into product groups. Product groups can show multiple product variations like colours or sizes from a single product tag. Tagging group products allows you to
showcase a broader range of options and minimises the impact of any individual products being out of stock. We hope this update makes it even easier for you to share products with your viewers and helps them choose the right products for themselves. We've rolled out updates to give you
more control over your comments in YouTube Studio. To help you find the most important conversations, the comment view now defaults to most relevant. We've also updated the response status filter to let you multi select options, making it easier than ever to track new replies to your comments.
You can now also save your preferred default comments filters on mobile. Based on feedback, we're introducing a new hide end screen button in the top right corner of the video player, allowing viewers to hide end screens whilst watching a video. To bring end screens back,
viewers can tap show after they're hidden. Additionally, we're removing the subscribe button that appears when viewers hover over the video watermark on desktop. However, the subscribe button below the video player will stay and video watermarks will still be visible. We hope these
updates help reduce distractions for your viewers. That's it for this month. We'll see you next time.
