YouTube Studio, formerly known as YouTube Creator Studio, is a platform created by the American video-sharing platform YouTube. YouTube Studio enables content creators to manage their online presence on YouTube, analyze audience engagement and generate revenue if they are in the YouTube Partner Program. [1]
In 2005, YouTube introduced Creator Studio Classic. In 2019, a significant overhaul of YouTube Studio was conducted to align with Google's Material Design user interface. [2] [3]
By November 2019, Creator Studio Classic access was gradually phased out in favor of the rebranded "YouTube Studio," serving as a replacement for around 150,000 creators. The impact expanded from 1% of YouTube channels in January 2020 to 100% by April 2020. [4]
YouTube Studio offers features for creators to manage their own channels, including a dashboard for news and personal notifications, [5] [6] general management of one's own videos on the platform, [7] channel analytics, [8] monetization and copyright management, [9] [10] and other resources and tools for channel customization.
