Hey, creators. I'm Daniel and I'm back with the first round-up of the year.

You know the drill.

If you want any more info, check out the links in the description.

Let's do this.

Great news for anyone that has or wants to create YouTube Shorts.

Go create them now.

You can check out stats in the YouTube app.

You can see stuff like views, watch time, subscribers and more.

Tap the Analytics button in the Shorts player to jump in.

If you ever want a deeper dive on Analytics

be sure to check out the YouTube Studio mobile app.

We've linked that app and a video if you need an overview of what's available.

We know running a successful live stream

can often involve multiple people behind the scenes.

So, we've recently added the ability to grant Live Control Room access

directly from YouTube Studio.

Anyone with manager or editor roles can now help moderate chat

from directly within the Live Control Room

as well as schedule, start or stop live streams.

Anyone with the viewer permission can monitor live-stream analytics and data

in Live Control Room, but won't have access to stream keys

and won't be able to manage live-stream settings.

Last month, our CEO Susan shared her annual letter

with the YouTube community.

In the letter, Susan outlined what matters most to YouTube in 2022

like growing our creator ecosystem, investing in YouTube Shorts

and protecting the YouTube community.

Check out her video letter below for all the deets.

We share a lot of features and updates in our community forums
