YouTube Studio

The YouTube Studio app is the mobile version of YouTube’s creator platform. It is designed for creators to manage their channels “on the go” without needing a desktop computer. While the main YouTube app is for watching and simple uploads, the Studio app is for managing, analyzing, and growing your channel.

🛠️ Key Features of the App
Dashboard: A quick snapshot of your channel’s performance, including your latest video’s stats, recent subscribers, and notifications.

Analytics: Deep dives into your views, watch time, revenue (if monetized), and audience demographics (age, gender, location).

Content Management: Edit video titles, descriptions, tags, and visibility (Public/Private). You can also upload custom thumbnails directly from your phone.

Comment Moderation: Reply to fans, “heart” comments, or filter out spam and inappropriate messages.

Monetization (Earn): Track your progress toward the YouTube Partner Program or manage your current ad settings and revenue.

📱 How to Use the App
To get started, download the YouTube Studio app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and sign in with your Google account.

1. Checking Performance
Tap the Analytics tab at the bottom. This is where you see if your channel is growing.

Research Tab: See what your audience and other viewers across YouTube are searching for to get video ideas.

Overview: See your total views and watch time for the last 28 days.

2. Editing a Video
If you’ve already uploaded a video but forgot to add a description or want to change the thumbnail:

Go to the Content tab.

Tap the video you want to change.

Tap the Pencil icon (Edit) at the top.

Change your title, description, or tap the thumbnail icon to upload a custom image from your photo gallery.

3. Engaging with your Audience
Tap the Comments tab. You can use filters to find “Comments I haven’t responded to” or “Comments containing questions.” This is the fastest way to build a community.

4. Uploading Content
While you can upload from the main YouTube app, the Studio app now allows you to start the upload process and manage the metadata (tags/settings) in one place. Just tap the “+” icon at the top of the app.

💡 Pro Tip: Desktop vs. Mobile

The app is perfect for daily management, but for advanced features—like using the Blur Tool to hide faces, adding End Screens, or accessing the Audio Library for copyright-free music—you will still need to use the YouTube Studio website on a computer.
