In this video, I'm going to show you how to get started with YouTube's incredibly powerful Ask Studio tool so you can unlock even more insights about your channel, videos, and audience. Hello Insiders, I'm Rene Ritchie, a long-time creator now working at YouTube, and here's what's up. If you clicked on Ask Studio, checked out the suggested clips, but then felt stuck on what to do next or how to find the most value, here are a few prompting

pro tips. One, use natural language. Just tell Ask Studio what you're curious about or what you want to know the way you would a friend or a colleague. Two, be detailed. In other words, help Ask Studio help you. Be clear. Instead of "Give me ideas from comments", try "Based on the comments in my short with the title Best Moments from the World Championships, give me three ideas for my next video." Be concise. Instead of reinventing terms,

use the labels you see in YouTube Analytics already like traffic sources or new viewers to help Ask Studio identify and pull the correct data sets. Give context. Instead of "Give me a title", try "Give me a catchy title for my video about Best Moments from the World Championships for a new audience." Be conversational. Instead of just "What are the main themes appearing in the comments of my latest video about the best moments from the World Championships",

once you've gotten a response, follow up with "Looking at the feedback on the best moments in the World Championships, summarize why viewers are asking for more comparisons." Because Ask Studio is meant to be a creative partner, a tool that you can jam with to overcome the tyranny of the blank page or more rapidly iterate on your ideas. It understands your specific channel and brand to provide personalized recommendations, and you're always the one in control, whether you're

roasting video outlines or brainstorming thumbnail concepts. And your channel data is private and secure and visible only to you. Also, Ask Studio is always expanding, so keep trying new and different prompts, even ones that may not have worked the way you expected before. Give it a try, let us know your thoughts and questions in the comments, and keep it real.
