YouTubes customize the design of the video management options for creatorswhile also wanting to simplify the upload process to reduce confusion, especially when posting Shorts clips.
First, in terms of video management, YouTube says it wants to simplify the creator experience by “consolidating multiple access points to the video list on mobile.”
As you can see in this example, YouTube has reduced the number of options on the channel management screen in the app, with the ‘Manage Videos’ option gone and the ‘Your Videos’ option now being the main entry point to the channel page.
That ideally helps streamline creation, by reducing the possible options that guide you from the main screen.
As explained by YouTube:
“In the future, creators will be redirected to their channel page after creating the video, so all video management can be done directly on the channel page tabs (videos, shorts and live). The goal is to simplify and streamline YouTube’s main app, making it easier for creators to manage all their content directly on the channel page.”
So again, that ideally makes it easier to manage your channel content on mobile, although the management options on desktop remain the same.
YouTube is also updating the video settings screen, hiding your extended video settings behind a “Show More” drop-down menu, reducing clutter on the upload screen.
As you can see in these examples, you can still manage your regular video elements within the upload process, but to streamline and simplify the process, YouTube is testing a more basic version of the main screen, which you can open whenever you want.
This allows more content to be uploaded faster, but it can also mean creators miss important details that could help increase their visibility. In most cases you’ll probably want to fill in as much detail as possible to give the system more data to proceed, but YouTube is clearly confident that it will be able to categorize all clips effectively, even with this more minimized variation.
YouTube says the only exception here is for creators in the YouTube Shopping program, who will still see a product tag field on the main screen.
Some minor changes, but if they work as expected, more content could be uploaded to the app.
