YouTube Add New CTA Options for Promote, More Images in Community Posts

YouTube has announced a new update for Community Posts, while it’s also adding new CTA options for in-stream promotions, and the capacity to edit auto-dubbed clips.

First off, on Community Posts. YouTube’s giving channel managers more ways to express themselves in their social-like updates, by increasing the number of images available in your posts.

As per YouTube:

“Until now, creators could only upload five images per post on their channel. Now, creators will be able to upload up to 10 images per post.”

So a pretty straightforward change, more images for your posts, which could facilitate more context, more engagement opportunities, etc.

YouTube says that this option is being launched across all surfaces this week.

YouTube’s also making it easier to update clips in which you’ve applied auto-dubbing, with the system now able to re-process edited clips to ensure the dubbing is accurate.

“Creators will soon be able to use Studio Editor for videos that have automatic dubbing enabled. After changes are saved, the autodub tracks will be recreated to match the edits.”

So you’ll have more capacity to manage and maintain your videos that you’ve used auto-dubbing on, with YouTube now able to review those changes, and keep your content accessible in other languages.

YouTube’s gradually rolling out auto-dubbing to more users, with all verified creators now able to access the option.

YouTube also notes that editing videos with manually uploaded multi-language captions is coming later this year.

Finally, YouTube’s also rolling out a new update for YouTube Promote, which will give creators more call-to-action (CTA) options for their promotions.

As you can see in this example, YouTube will now provide more CTA button options to choose from when setting up your Promote campaigns.  

“When a campaign is created with a goal of more website visits, creators can now identify a more granular desired outcome such as ‘Book Now,’ ‘Get Quote,’ ‘Contact Us,’ etc. This is currently available only on desktop.”

Creators can use Promote campaigns to boost their Shorts and/or videos directly from YouTube or YouTube Studio, without needing to go to Google Ads. Creators can also use Promote to get more channel subscribers, increase video views, and more.

Some handy updates, without being game-changing, but providing more capacity to manage and maintain your YouTube content.
