About Better YouTube Studio - by SQUIDUU
Better YouTube Studio adds the tools YouTube Studio and YouTube are missing, right inside the official interface.
Made by a creator, for creators.
NEW IN V6
π Video cards - one button in YouTube's top bar turns any video, Short, channel or comment on the page into a clean card, ready to copy or download: light or dark, eight colours, large or as a list row, with the duration, channel, views and date shown or hidden as you like.
π Volume booster - turn the sound up to 300% on quiet videos, with a notch at 100% so you feel where the boost starts; a double click brings it back to 100%, and a page you reload or come back to never starts above 100%
ποΈ The exact frame for your thumbnail - "Pick from the video" no longer offers just three pictures: slide a frame along the whole video, crop with the corners, and the picture goes in as your thumbnail at full quality.
πͺ Automatic picture-in-picture - the video keeps playing in a small window when you switch to another tab
π Search in playlists - a search field at the top of any playlist finds a video by its title or channel
π° Views of your posts - the latest post card on the dashboard now shows how many views each post got
π Engagement rate of your Shorts - with "Relevant data only", the Shorts tab of the latest content card shows how many people watched your Short rather than swiping it away
β‘ A much faster latest content card - the Videos, Shorts and Live tabs and their ranking load in parallel and are kept between visits
ON YOUTUBE STUDIO
π¬ Videos, Shorts and Live tabs on the latest content card and in the channel's 28-day summary - check the performance of each type without leaving the dashboard, with the channel's total estimated revenue always at the bottom of the summary
βΆοΈ Play your latest upload from the dashboard instead of a static thumbnail
π― Rearrange your dashboard - drag any card where you want it, your layout is saved
π YouTube Awards - track your progress from Silver to Red Diamond
π Subscriber progress bar with milestones at 1K, 10K, 100K, 1M and beyond
π° Recent posts - arrows on the latest post card to browse your 10 most recent posts, each with its own views, likes and comments
π Hide revenue - blurs every amount, click to reveal
π― Relevant data only - keep the figures that matter: on the latest content card, no click-through rate, no likes on Shorts and lives, the RPM of videos, the engagement rate of Shorts, the estimated revenue of lives, and a button from their average view duration straight to the audience retention chart
π» Red arrows for drops - every arrow marking a figure below your usual range turns red, and the "about as usual" checks turn grey, on the dashboard and throughout analytics
π Zoom on the retention chart - drag or scroll to zoom in on any part of the video, scroll along it, click to move the preview there, and the view follows the playback
π Display language in Studio's profile menu - change YouTube's language right from Studio, as on YouTube
π Copy the description in one click - a copy button on a video's description
π Faster channel switching - instant search, favorites, drag to reorder
π·οΈ Short or video at a glance - an icon on each entry of your top content
π Exact publish time - hover a date on the Content page to see the day and time, down to the second
π Views trend on the Content page - an arrow beside each video's views compares it with the 10 uploads before it at the same age
πͺ Hide "Sign out" - take it off the menu under your profile picture, on YouTube and in Studio, so it is never clicked by mistake
βοΈ Clipping campaigns - launch one from the dashboard, from a video's analytics, its details or its clips page
ON YOUTUBE
π Outlier scores - before the views of every video, on the home page, in search, in suggestions, on channel pages and under the video you watch: how many times more views it got than the median of the 10 videos its channel posted just before it (Shorts against Shorts)
πΌοΈ See every thumbnail of a video - YouTube tests several thumbnails on the same video and shows you only one. With thumbnail test detection turned on, a "Thumbnails" panel on each video page shows all the ones found, in HD, with a one-click download
π Publish time under every video - the time, in your own time zone, right after the date
ποΈ Playlists as a thumbnail grid - when adding a video to playlists, see each playlist's thumbnail, video count and visibility, with filters for public, unlisted, private and series
ποΈ Quick remove in your playlists - a bin beside each video of the playlists you can edit, on the playlist's page and in the list beside the player, with YouTube's own undo
π Playlist visibility icons - public, private and unlisted at a glance, with YouTube's own icons, on playlist cards and on the playlist's own page
π·οΈ Video tags - the tags the creator gave a video, listed under its description, with a button to copy them all
πΈ Screenshot button in the player - capture the frame on screen, then copy it or download it
πΊ Shorts as regular videos - one button in the Shorts player opens the Short on the classic watch page, right where you were
β‘ 1.1x playback speed by default - every video starts at 1.1x, shown as such in YouTube's own speed menu, and any speed you pick there stays for that video
