Congratulations @MrBeast on making history as the first creator to reach 500 million subscribers on @YouTube! 🎉
This achievement is a testament to what’s possible when a creator has the freedom to follow their creativity and be their authentic selves. Jimmy, you are an incredible innovator and we're so proud to be part of your journey.
Step into this multiplayer action game as Bloodsworn,battle against up to 7 players as you hunt to secure the mysterious First Blood. The Duskbloods launches exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026 with a closed network test coming soon! #NintendoDirect
Today, we’re officially launching fully customizable multiview on @YouTubeTV.
Our @youtube teams made one of our most popular features even better. The new multiview builder gives you full control to mix and match live streams (including add-ons like @nfl Sunday Ticket), and build the personalized viewing experience you've been asking for.
Live streaming is a massive part of YouTube, and that’s because of the @youtubecreators who build incredible communities on our platform.
We’re rolling out some major updates to YouTube Live to improve the experience and help creators make more money:
↔️We're expanding Gifts to horizontal live streams on mobile (in addition to vertical), so you can unlock new earning opportunities and real-time interaction across all stream formats.
🌐We’re bringing Gifts to more creators and viewers worldwide. They're now rolling out in 🇨🇦🇰🇷🇮🇩🇹🇭🇦🇺🇳🇿 and more, giving you the ability to monetize a much larger audience.
🤝You can now stream in both vertical and horizontal formats at the same time. This maximizes your reach across different devices while uniting your audience in a single, shared live chat.
✋To keep the momentum going on your streams, we’ll now automatically recognize when live chat engagement is at its peak and hold back ads for everyone.
🚨 Insiders: Assembled! 🚨
The YouTube Insider channel has merged with the Creator Insider channel to give you all one place to find all our news, interviews, mythbusters, Q&As, and more!
There'll be a brief pause as we reorganize and sort everything out (like pulling all our interview shows together into a single, unified podcast!) but we'll be back ASAP with everything you love and some new ideas too - stay tuned!
At @YouTube, we're focused on building the best TV experience for the next generation.
Read more in the @verge about the latest features you can try out in the living room, including Stations (24/7 streams, curated by some of your favorite artists).
So great to welcome Ms Qiwiie, @NickDiGiovanni, and @QTCinderella to @youtube.
They shared the highlights and challenges that come with being a creator, what they love about YouTube, their top feature requests, and more.
We always love hearing from @youtubecreators, the heart of our platform!

This #SuperBowlLX, I saw how much "watching the game" has fundamentally changed. Now, fans experience the action through the eyes of the @YouTubeCreators, athletes, and artists they love.
We witnessed this shift first here in the Bay Area all weekend long, from the global broadcast of our @YouTube x @NFL Flag Football Game drawing over 14 million live views (more than double the number of live views from last year’s showdown in New Orleans), to hosting over 100 creators at our Creator Collective tailgate, to watching the Super Bowl itself.
Whether it’s reliving the halftime show, catching a creator’s live reaction, or diving into the analysis on Monday morning, YouTube is where the world gathers to experience it all.
Thank you to the NFL, @bayareaHC, @49ers, and the hundreds of creators, artists, and partners who made this weekend unforgettable. And congrats to the @Seahawks on an incredible season!
.@youtube has been #1 in streaming watchtime in the U.S. for nearly three years, according to @Nielsen 📺
We’re the new TV because @youtubecreators are the new prime time.
Great to see more brands and advertisers choosing @YouTube to meet audiences where they are: the living room.
