Congrats to @YouTubeCreators Kane Parsons and Curry Barker on breakout movie weekends for #Backrooms and @obsessionmovie! Inspiring to see Kane and Curry join the likes of Markiplier, director of #ironlungmovie, as creators who honed their craft on @YouTube and are now expanding their creative vision to include the big screen.

Congrats to @taaforg on their Heritage Month Summit in NYC and thank you for the recognition.

It was inspiring to spend an evening with so many AAPI creators. Many of these creators started on @youtube because they didn't see people like them in traditional media. Now, they’re driving global culture, reaching millions of viewers, and building self-sustaining businesses.

[Neal Mohan @nealmohan]

In April, @youtube Premium users watched over 800M hours of podcasts.

We're shipping new features in Premium that podcast listeners in particular will be excited about:

🚙On-the-go mode gives you easier access to listening controls (like skip forward) when you’re listening to videos in the background
⏩Auto speed increases speed during relevant moments like lengthy introductions
🎙️You can now use Ask Music to get personalized podcast recommendations across topics, genres, and more
