YouTube is adding notes below some videos to provide context or point out when a video is a parody, outdated, or misleading.
YouTube is adding Twitter-like Community Notes to some videos as a test feature to help keep viewers better informed about what they see on the platform. Text-based notes that clarify content with linked sources may start appearing under some videos that offer outdated information, misleading information, or are parodies, according to a blog post YouTube published Monday. YouTube is testing its notes for US users in English first, and could roll out the feature more broadly at a later date.
YouTube says its note creators will consist of „eligible contributors“ it will reach out to over email or from within YouTube’s Creator Studio. The Google-owned video platform says it will then use „third party evaluators“ to review the notes, and eventually allow other YouTube creators to rate each other’s notes as well.
