About which we will talk today in this article. Some updates you will like a lot, and some may even bother you a little.

Delay Monetize
The news was that in the early months of 2023, you will be able to monetize your channel through YouTube shorts. I told you in my last article ( YouTube shorts monetize update ) that your channel will be monetized in the early month of 2023. But many people thought that this update will be implemented from January 1, 2023. Now there is some news that there may be a little delay. It can implement in the first quarter of 2023. Maybe in February or maybe at the end of January. It may also happen in March. That means there may be a little delay.
Views News

Some people thought that we have already completed 10 million views from short videos. So when this short video update is launched, we will not have to complete the views again. But it won't happen. Even if you have completed 10 million views, your views will start counting when the YouTube shorts update is implemented. You will need to meet these criteria again.
YouTube Shorts Features
Now you will get to see many features in YouTube Short. Like green screen or voice-over feature etc. That is, YouTube Short is now going to become much more feature rich. Because if YouTube wants to compete with Tik Tok, then it has to make it good.
Monetization Update
Many people are still confused that if we monetize our channel through YouTube short, will ads come on long videos or not? Although I had cleared it in the previous article as well. Still, I'll say it again. Now there will be two methods of monetization. Until now, there was only one way that you could apply for monetization by completing 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of watch time in the last 365 days. But after this update, you will get another way that now you will be able to monetize your channel through YouTube shorts but for this, you have to complete 10 million views and 1000 subscribers in the last 90 days.
Now, for those who only make long videos, this update has no meaning. Because they will have to complete 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of watch time. But if you upload both types of videos on your channel, then you will be able to monetize your channel in both ways. If you have completed the criteria of 10 million views and 1000 subscribers for short videos, then your channel will be monetized and if you have completed 4000 hours of watch time and 1000 subscribers for long videos, then your channel will be monetized. You monetize the channel in any way, ads will come on your short videos, ads will come on your live stream and ads will come on your long videos too.
Short Fund

News has also come about the short fund. That is, if you are getting a short fund. If you have received short fund only after completing 10 million views, then when this short video update is applied, your channel will be automatically monetized.
Music Update
Now some news has also come about music. As I told you in my article that a feature of music will be given from which you will be able to use some songs in your videos. It was that you have to give some money or you have to share the revenue with the owner of the song. This has been clarified a little more by YouTube. That's a lot of songs that you want to use in your videos. There will be many of them that you will get for free. You will buy them but you will not have to pay any money. Some will have to pay $1, some may have to pay $100. That is, those songs will be found at separate prices. You will be able to use them on the channel from which you have logged in and bought them.
Apart from this, there will also be a revenue share feature. This means that the owner of the song or music does not want to sell the song but wants to share revenue. So the revenue that will be distributed will be 50% to the owner and 50% to the creator. But remember one thing it depends on the owner of the song whether he wants to share the revenue or sell the song.
So there was some news like this. There was some good news and some disturbing ones like delays etc. But I would like to say one thing now you should start uploading short videos on YouTube. You must also read my previous article about updating them by clicking on the link given below.
