Creators can search by topic, select suggested themes, or use 'Find similar comments' to bulk-moderate similar comments. - **Licensed Music for Image Posts** [00:29] — Creators can now add popular licensed music to Posts, pairing up to 10 images with a song to tell dynamic image-based stories and potentially reach new audiences in the Shorts feed. - **AI Video Clips with Google Omni** [00:45] — YouTube Shorts and YouTube Create now support Google's Omni model for generating video clips. It offers improved generation quality, allows clips up to 10 seconds long, and accepts a prompt plus up to 3 reference images. - **Remix Inspiration Feed in YouTube Create** [00:59] — The YouTube Create app's home page now features a new immersive feed that highlights videos you can easily remix, helping creators find inspiration and start remixing directly from the app. - **New Policy Notice Severity Levels** [01:14] — YouTube Studio's Content tab introduces a three-tiered notice icon system: Red (X) for complete limitation, (!) for partial limitation (like limited or no ads), and Gray (i) for informational notices. Hover cards explain the cause and impact, with a 'View Details' button when action is available. - **Estimated Revenue Column** [01:41] — A new Estimated revenue column in YouTube Studio shows per-video earnings across all revenue streams, including Ads, YouTube Premium, and YouTube Shopping. Revenue data typically takes about two days to process; a clock icon indicates numbers are still being finalized. The feature is also available in the YouTube Studio mobile app. ### Conclusion These updates streamline comment management, expand creative options, and give creators clearer visibility into policy issues and earnings, helping them run their channels more confidently. ## Transcript Here’s this month’s YouTube Shorts Roundup!  We're making it even easier to find,   manage, and respond to comments in YouTube  Studio. When you visit your Comments page,   you will see a new "Search" filter option, while  the traditional exact-match field is now labeled   "Keywords". You can use your own words to  search by topic, select suggested themes,   or select any comment to instantly "Find similar  comments". We hope this helps you quickly find and   bulk-moderate similar types of comments. You can  now add popular licensed music to your Posts! This   update lets you pair up to 10 images with music,  helping you tell dynamic image-based stories,   and possibly reach new audiences in the Shorts  feed! Try it out! You can now use Google’s new   Omni model when generating video clips in YouTube  Shorts and YouTube Create. Videos generated with   this update will have improved generation  quality and can be up to 10 seconds long,   using a prompt and up to 3 reference images.  You can now find inspiration, and Remix videos   directly in the YouTube Create app! To get  started, open the YouTube Create app and   browse the new immersive feed on the home page.  This feed is designed to spark your creativity   by highlighting videos you can easily remix. Try  it out and see what you can create! We’re making   it easier to understand your content's policy  restrictions and earnings within the Content   Tab in YouTube Studio. You’ll now see notice icons  with a new three-tiered severity system: a Red (X)   icon indicates a complete limitation, an (!)  icon signals a partial limitation (like limited   or no ads), and a Gray (i) icon is for your  information. To address a notice, simply hover   over the alert in the Notices column to see a card  explaining the cause of the limitation and how it   affects your video’s reach, feature access, and  earning ability. If there’s action you can take,   you’ll see a “View Details” button on the hover  card. We’ve also added an Estimated revenue column   that shows you exactly how much each video is  earning across all revenue streams—including Ads,   YouTube Premium, and YouTube Shopping. Note that  it typically takes about two days for revenue data   to process. If you see a clock icon, it means  the numbers are still being finalized. You’ll   also see these icons in the YouTube Studio Mobile  App. We hope these changes help you quickly see   exactly what’s going on with your content, and  how to fix it. This means you can take faster,   more confident action to keep your channel running  smoothly. Thanks for watching! Don’t forget to   subscribe for even more news and updates.
