YouTube is the largest Internet server for video sharing, which has been with us since February 2005. It was then bought by Google in November 2006. The platform currently has over 2 billion monthly logged in user accesses and 500 hours of new videos are uploaded every minute. Here's a roundup of what's new for YouTube that the network has rolled out or is rolling out.

Member Time Milestone Report 

Network users can send one special highlight message in live chat each month to help highlight and celebrate how long they've been a member of the platform. This feature is available to those who have been a member for at least the second month. Messages can only be sent during live broadcasts or show premieres and are visible to all viewers. 

Removing the Discussion tab 

As of October 12, the Discussion tab is removed. This was done because the platform will expand the availability of contributions to the community to other channels. Authors who have access to community posts can interact with viewers using rich media content. They can insert polls, GIFs, text, images and videos. Community posts then allow you to stay in touch with your audience outside of uploading videos. They always appear in the Community tab and sometimes in the Subscriptions feed or on the home page.

School bills 

Starting September 1st, you can see a new limited version of YouTube just for schools when using your school account. This change occurs if the school administrator has marked you as under 18. As a result, you cannot comment, use live chat, or receive most notifications. Also, you cannot create videos on YouTube and you may not be able to watch some sensitive videos. This change will only affect your YouTube experience in your school account and will not affect the YouTube experience in your personal account.

Media literacy 

The platform launched a media literacy campaign on YouTube. They are thus trying to help viewers think critically and recognize false information in the online environment. The campaign will offer media literacy tips in the form of 15-second skippable video clips that will play before you start watching anything on YouTube. The campaign will appear on a random sample of videos across the platform.

Likes and Dislikes 

In the mobile version of the application, the appearance of the buttons is tested within a small group of users I like a I do not like on the watch video page. Some of these suggestions will not show the number of dislikes. As a participant in the experiment, you can still like or dislike videos on YouTube to continue tuning your recommended videos. In YouTube Studio, authors will continue to see the exact number of likes and dislikes for their videos.
