The best way to grow as a content creator is to make original content that truly connects with your audience. YouTube knows this and is working to make things easier. Recently, YouTube has been testing an AI-powered tool that helps creators come up with fresh content ideas.

This tool gives insight into what topics might work best based on a creator’s audience. Finding the right idea can be tough, and this could be a huge help. Engagement is just as important as content, and YouTube has been pushing for better creator-viewer interactions.

Back in December, they launched Communities, a feature designed to give creators a dedicated space to connect with their audience. Think of it as a digital hangout spot where people who enjoy the same content can interact with each other and the creator.

At first, only a small group of YouTubers had access. But today, YouTube is opening up the feature to more creators. A support post highlighted the update, as reported by The Verge. The biggest change? The ‘Community’ tab is now called ‘Posts’. The name is different, but the function stays the same.

Want to check if your favorite creator has a Community? Just visit their channel. If they’re part of the feature, you’ll see a banner labeled ‘beta’. No banner? Try swiping the carousel and tapping ‘Posts’ or ‘Go to Community’.

That said, not every creator can use Communities yet. Even with the expansion, YouTube is still keeping it invite-only. Those who qualify will get an email or a banner on their channel, letting them know they can opt in.

YouTube is clearly pushing for more engagement and easier content creation. With AI-backed content ideas and a growing Community space, creators have more ways than ever to build their audience.

Mark is the kind of person who gets way too excited about new software updates and can’t resist taking apart gadgets—just to see if they can put them back together. With years of experience in tech journalism and a love for all things digital, Mark writes about the stories behind the screens, from game-changing innovations to the everyday tech that keeps life running smoothly. Outside of work, they’re the go-to “tech support” for friends and family, whether it’s fixing a printer that won’t cooperate or explaining why Grandma’s laptop keeps showing pop-ups. When Mark isn’t glued to their screen, they’re probably building their dream PC, rewatching sci-fi movies for the hundredth time, or testing a gadget that promises to “change everything.” Spoiler: they’ll let you know if it actually does.
