YouTube has introduced two new features to boost interactivity within its own user base.

  1. On the one hand, community posts that contain images can now be provided with creative filters and effects using special visual editing tools.
  2. On the other hand, content producers and channel operators now have the opportunity to present their content in a completely new form using a quiz function. Both features are tentatively referred to as “experiments,” which are still in beta testing.

More creativity

“With Quiz, we are introducing a new interactive way for creators to connect with their audience,” said the development team on the YouTube blog. This form of content presentation has some advantages, for example it can be used excellently in the educational sector to impart knowledge. “Quiz content can be created just like other community posts. We will initially test this feature with a small number of beta creators and expand it later based on their feedback,” it said.

A new visual editing process, which is intended for content with images, should also ensure more creativity in connection with the design of postings. These can be changed and spiced up according to your own wishes via the YouTube app. “Creators can add special filters, text or stickers to their content,” said the responsible developers. Here too, the “experiment” will initially only be available to a small group of users.

Community posts

With the features that are now being tested, YouTube primarily wants to enhance community posts and give creators additional opportunities to improve engagement with their fans and followers. Community posts are actually feed-based status updates accessible from the “Community” tab of channels that have more than 500 subscribers. They are basically similar to a typical news feed known from conventional social media portals.
