What's up, Insiders? I'm Lauren, a program manager working on our product team here at YouTube and the producer of Creator Insider. If it's Tuesday, it's Newsday. So, let's get into it. We've talked about the media kit on the channel before and we're excited to share that we've expanded the kit to include exclusive insights you won't find in standard YouTube Analytics, such as audience watch and shopping interests, giving you more data in brand negotiations. If you need
a refresher, the media kit is a personalized, auto-generated PDF that creators can use to showcase their channel performance, unique audience, and creativity to potential brand partners. The media kit is available to all creators in the YouTube Partner Program globally. So, what are the new insights coming to the kit? First, family status. See exactly what percentage of your audience are parents versus non-parents. Next, household income. >> [music] >> Understand your audience's purchasing power with income data broken
down by percentile brackets. If you're in MYPP, just head to the Earn tab in YouTube Studio on desktop. Look for the link titled Download Your Media Kit. Moving on, we're happy to share that Nano Banana, Google's Gemini image model, is now available on YouTube Create. This upgrade will allow you to use text prompts and reference images to create GenAI images. You can upload up to three images from your device's media gallery to serve as ingredients for
the generation. You can access the generation flow through several entry points. Banners on the home page, the quick actions bar, >> [music] >> the editor toolbar, the plus icon in the media picker, and the overlay tool. We'll leave more information below. >> [music] >> And with that, we're wrapping up this week's newsflash. But before I let you go, I have a bit of a personal update. This is going to be my last time hosting the newsflash
before I hand the mic over to a new face. Being your host and producer has been an incredible journey. The show has always been about more than just the updates. >> [music] >> It's been about building a bridge between the folks who build the tools and the creators who use them. >> [music] >> You've let me into your studios and onto your screens every week, and for that, I'm deeply grateful. Thank you for the comments and
the feedback, and even the occasional "Fix your lighting" tips. You've made me a better producer and a better advocate for you all. Creator Insider is in great hands, and I can't wait to watch its next chapter alongside you as a fellow viewer. Keep creating and tuning in, and for the last time for me, from the creators of YouTube to YouTube creators, keep it real.
