Google-owned YouTube has announced several new updates to the platform
including the new "Premieres" feature that would allow creators to debut
pre-recorded videos as a live moment.
Premieres are starting to
roll out to creators today and will be available broadly soon, Neal
Mohan, YouTube's Chief Product Officer, said in a blog post on Thursday.
"When
creators choose to release a Premiere, we'll automatically create a
public landing page to build anticipation and hype up new content,"
Mohan added.
When all fans show up to watch the premiere,
YouTube will enable them to chat with each other and with the creator in
real time via live chat.
"It's as if a creator's entire community is in one theatre together watching their latest upload," Mohan said.
"Premieres"
would roll out over the next two weeks, reaching select YouTubers who
were beta test partners first, The Verge reported.
YouTube also
announced a new "Merchandise Integration" option with which creators
could make products like shirts and mugs and have their items advertised
on a shelf below their video, the report added.
To help
businesses grow, the video-sharing app additionally notified that as
part of the new updates, YouTubers could get an opportunity to be hired
by brands for branded content curation with "Famebit Integration"
feature.
This feature does not have a set roll out date as yet.
YouTube
made all these announcements at VidCon US 2018 that commenced on June
20 in Anaheim, California and will continue till June 23.
"With
more than 1.9 billion logged-in users who come to YouTube every month
and localised versions stretching across 90 countries and 80 languages,
we're opening up the world to anyone with a cell phone and an Internet
connection," Mohan said.
