YouTube update introduces new “For You” section for creators،
Youtube announcement a new feature specially designed for creators, a “For you” section available from the Home tab. The new section was designed to recommend various content from the creator’s channel to YouTube users based on their viewing history.
Announced this week, the new feature will roll out to viewers starting November 20, but YouTube creators should already be able to view and configure it as they see fit.
The “For You” section gives your audience a personalized experience when they visit your channel’s Home tab. This section features a mix of personalized content based on what the individual viewer watched. You can choose which types of content to display and choose to only display recently published content within the last 12 months.
Even though YouTube is currently rolling out this feature, not all creators may have access to it yet. But if you do, here’s how you can edit your “For You” section:
- Log in to YouTube Studio
- From the left menu, select Personalization / Layout
- Scroll down to “Recommendations for your viewers” and click More Settings.
- Select the types of content you want to display and whether you want to display only content published in the last 12 months.
- Click Done
- Click Publish
In addition to this, creators can enable or disable the “For You” section by following the same procedure, but instead of selecting the content type, enable or disable the section.
