How does YouTube Studio operate and what is it?

The link is located below "Your channel" and "Paid memberships" on any YouTube page if you click on your profile image (located in the upper right corner). 

You may also go straight to studio.youtube.com.
After logging in, the dashboard will be the first page you see. Its layout is reminiscent of well-known content management systems like WordPress(opens in a new tab), with links in the left column and a news feed, statistics, and quick access to important operations like adding videos in the right.

Managing videos on YouTube Studio

There are two tabs for Uploads and Live, with Uploads representing your own personal uploads and Live representing live streaming. You may sort your material from either tab based on the date it was published, the number of views, comments, or likes compared to dislikes, or both.

The visibility settings and any limits affecting the audience of your videos will also be mentioned here.

YouTube Studio: Page with video details

Hover over the thumbnail or title and select "Details" to get additional details about certain films. The dashboard's left column is replaced with movie-specific navigation elements on the detail pages, and a thumbnail of the video appears at the top of each column.

Two tabs, "Basic" and "More choices," divide the page's main section into two sections. You may alter the title and description, and upload your own thumbnail photos from the "Basic" page if the ones YouTube automatically creates are unsuitable. Additionally, you may choose the visibility and establish audience limitations.

You may also add end screens and cards from this menu. Cards are similar to end screens but display as a little notification icon in the upper right corner of the video. Conclusion screens are tiny advertisements for additional material that you may put at the end of a movie.

There are several other bits of information that you may update under the "More choices" tab. You have the option to edit the video's category, language, recording date, location, distribution settings, licensing, and caption options as well as submit your own subtitles.

Additionally, you may allow or disable comments, ratings, embedding, and warnings that alert users to sponsored advertisements.

YouTube Studio's website for video analytics

You may add audio from the collection of free music, trim your video if you want to eliminate any particular segments from it, and add components that overlay on the movie from the "Editor" tab.

Links to additional videos, playlists or channels are among them. You will also have the option of adding links if you are a member of the Partner Program. If you don't want to see people's faces in a video, you may also add blurring to certain parts of the clip.

Links to sites for "Comments," where you may examine all comments made on a video, including those that are held for review and those flagged as spam, and "Subtitles," where you can select the language to use for subtitles, can be found below the link to the "Editor" page.

YouTube Studio: Concluding

A well-designed, user-friendly program called YouTube Studio gives you all the resources and knowledge you need to start a successful YouTube channel.

The editing options are a little limited, but if you want to build a successful channel, you have probably used the majority of the more sophisticated editing techniques before you ever submitted the video to YouTube.

The key benefits of YouTube Studio include being able to control your video's settings as they relate to how it is shown on YouTube, using the analytics to see how well your material is performing and finding methods to boost that performance if your long-term objective is to monetize your channel.
