YouTube is introducing a new feature that could change the way people watch videos. The new feature, called YouTube Premieres, addresses the situation where creators want to engage more with their audience and build a strong community, but don't want to stream. The creators' needs were heard, and the new feature was created, which is something between a live stream and a classic video.
HOW DO YOUTUBE PREMIERES WORK?
Thanks to the new tool, you can watch your premiere video live with your viewers. It works basically the same way as when you go to the cinema with a group of friends to see a new movie. Except that with a YouTube premiere, the movie is your video, your group is your followers, and the cinema is YouTube. So how do you create a premiere in an "online cinema"? The whole process looks something like this.
You shoot a video and schedule the premiere date, for example, for Sunday. After scheduling it, a public page with a video preview is created, which is used to promote the video and can be shared. In our case, the video premiere will be launched on the same page on Sunday. Before and during the premiere, the creator can communicate with subscribers via live chat, maintaining their curiosity and increasing the number of potential viewers.
Among our partners, FiFqo tried the new tool and gave us a quick review: "I tried YouTube previews for the first time on the video MEME WAR and it was great. At first, people were a little confused about what was happening, but it's a great thing to watch the video together and chat in live chat. It's a completely different experience."
The new feature also becomes interesting because it becomes another option how earn money on YouTube. si The feature is currently being made available to a small group of creators and will be available to the wider public soon.
