YouTube recently held its Made On YouTube event, where it announced a trio of headlining updates. The updates are centered around new ways to reward creators across its platform. These include expanded access to the YouTube Partner Program, revenue sharing with Shorts creators, and Creator Music.

TikTok is expanding the character limit for video descriptions. Previously capped at 300 characters, it’s increasing to 2,200 characters, matching Instagram’s character limit.

The battery brand is planning to hire up to three creators to sit in its brand new Duracell Labs workshop in New York City.

Google announced several new updates to Search during its Search On event, some of which have a creator and user-generated content (UGC) tie-ins.

YouTube has added a voiceover feature. It allows creators to narrate their Shorts, such as giving instructions, explaining, reacting, or even adding original sounds.

With the proliferation of copycats, BeReal is reportedly exploring new features to monetize its platform.

Like BeReal, the feature sends users a daily prompt, encouraging them to share what they are doing using their front and back cameras via a 10-second video or static photo.

These add to a growing list of features that Facebook has delivered to creators over the past few months, including Interoperable Subscriptions and Music Revenue Sharing.

The program will consist of 10 creators, with ESPN talent and House Of Highlights founder Omar Raja as the lead ambassador.

Instagram revealed it’s testing two new ways for users to better shape their Instagram experience.

YouTube recently announced new products to strengthen learning opportunities across its platform.

The study found that TikTok ads are widely considered to be the most "fun and entertaining." TikTok was also the only brand that saw an improvement in trust by marketers. However, when it came to ad quality, TikTok came in at number two, a step down from last year’s top spot.
