Guys, why did I lose the slider for adjusting the added sound? if I add sound or music, then the original track disappears, please fix this breakdown

[@lacostel595]

Rușinică KZbin: Degeaba, încerc eu să obțin mai mulți bani, deoarece corupția din KZbin taie din vizionările videoclipurilor mele, pentru ca cei ce fac aceste lucruri injuste, să-și însușească banii ce mi se cuvin! Ba mă mai și șantajează că-mi închid canalul. Voi posta, într-o zi, ceea ce v-am spus!

[@DannysAquariums]

*Why is the quality of KZbin Shorts always compressed so much? 🤔 4K quality ends up looking like 240p, while it appears as 4K on other platforms.*

[@americainarabic2]

a good feature for creators is to add "presented, swiped away" for videos . to let the creator know which video is swiped away or ignored by the audience.

[@thehimpro]

It's a very improvement being able to select the thumbnail in the shorts. Thank you so much.

[@androidapps2]

It's a very nice improvement and feature

[@DarkDragonWing]

Thanks for the update! 👍 Can we get a separate section for Shorts in KZbin Studio? It's hard to find videos when they're in the same section as Shorts. Thanks! 🙏💯

[@EmmasPaardenTV]

I'd like to see that when perform an action in KZbin studio, like deleting a video or uploading a video, you are asked for your Google password again, even when you are already logged in. After that of course a session starts where you can do things without entering your password again. The session ends when you close youtube or you put your phone in stand by.

[@GentleJams]

Great changes, the ability to upload shorts thumbnails from PC would be amazing

[@cbbcsa]

Some kind of a feature to push shorts to a larger audience manually, also the amity to choose what kind of an audience you video is for. This could heat many small creators get their videos to the right people as they intend.

[@officialpowerofbanana]

thats a good idea!

[@Leo-pd4fc]

Thank you so much For that thumbnail Guide, this helps me a lot. I love KZbin. ❤️

[@GiverOfficial]

Preview for shorts is cool!

[@deepnoteTV]

I like the live product drop functionality and it's encouraging to see KZbin expand its options that promote marketing of and access to external merchandise transactions.

[@EFEFLOW]

Channels that produce original music content need some support. Remix channels reach many audiences with much less effort. but people who make their own music go unnoticed. Regarding music, it seems very difficult to achieve anything on youtube without imitating someone. The algorithm is generous with click baiters and fake videos. As a result, everything started to look alike.

[@teklagyorgy]

That would be great if we could choose a Shorts thumbnail from PC as well.

[@asadchak777]

Hi

[@user-Luv-U2]

Tell me about it! It's always from the phone! 😏

[@ConceptsOfWinning]

yup

[@boozebuddy]

Yup - I *can* do it from my phone, but then I have to go to desktop to properly add the description, tags, etc. It would be great to do it all from desktop.

[@NickyDunn]

Great tips. Been waiting to be able to choose thumbnail for short videos. Thank you. Have a great weekend.

[@C8bitMusic]

This enhancement represents a substantial step forward in user customization, granting us the ability to exert our creative influence and shape the perception of our short videos. It is a manifestation of the platform's commitment to constantly evolve and meet the evolving needs and desires of its users, thereby fostering an environment conducive to creativity, engagement, and artistic expression.

[@newsflash777]

Your better off just starting a Rumble channel at this point. No silly thresholds of 1,000 subs or 4,000 watch hours. I started on it, and have made over 1k USD in 3 months.

[@ConceptsOfWinning]

indeed we are loving it

[@PunjabiAyurvedicRasoi]

Adding products should be allowed via a wordpress website or woocommerce apart from shopify. That will really help us drive the sales and bring more good to my community.

[@Aprendeseo]

Es una gran mejora poder seleccionar la miniatura en los cortos. BIEN!!!

[@EuDeLife]

The new thumbnail option is amazing...the best part is KZbin keeps evolving with new settings and options!. More inspiration!. thanks!.

Choosing thumbnails for prerecorded Shorts uploaded on a desktop computer would be nice as well. Thanks! 🙏🏻

FEATURE REQUEST: Would LOVE to see Videos and Shorts separated in the Channel Content page in Creator Studio. Everything is already separated except these two. At the very least, put All/Videos/Shorts in pills at the top.

*Just Hit 3 Years on KZbin!* _This is Great News!_ I plan to drop a short in my one hour to test out this new shorts thumbnail feature! *I Have an Epic Video Dropping on My BDay MAY 27th at 1640 PDT/ 4:40PM PDT*

[@LEGOGames1000YT]

Just one question: when are we going to be able to change thumbnails of pre-made Shorts (those that aren't directly recorded prior to posting, but rather pre-recorded ones uploaded later), especially on PC? I remember a time where you could change your Shorts thumbnail on PC, and even choose a custom one! (And yes, I always upload Shorts from my PC, if you were wondering)

[@-STROM-]

How on earth are you able to upload SHORTS from a PC? i've tried to do just that quite a few times but i've always been unable to upload SHORTS from PC (eg: video under 60 seconds that i upload from PC are never recognized by YT as shorts) i've only ever been able to upload actual SHORTS from my phone only....

[@WalkingDevon]

@@-STROM- I've always uploaded shorts with my PC, maybe it's a compatibility thing. I use a Windows 10 machine with Chrome as a browser, do you use anything different?

[@-STROM-]

@@WalkingDevon mine is windows 7 with BRAVE as my browser

[@WalkingDevon]

@@-STROM- Security updates for Windows 7 ended over 2 years ago, you really shouldn't be online with it. It might not be the cause (I can't be certain though) but I would recommend with starting by updating your operating system first.

[@-STROM-]

@@WalkingDevon yeah, nah, windows 7 still works perfectly fine for me on my computer & I have NEVER had any security issues when going Online so the only way I'll upgrade my OS is when my current one stops working altogether (besides it would just be another blasted thing I'd have to pay for, yet which I would not be able to afford....)

[@SileanneEmpire]

Happy to be apart of the team, and can't wait start working with everyone

[@MrLeChAb971]

Thankfully there's a subtitle to help you understand,thanks for explaining it so well

[@McUtzki]

Nice that I can select a thumbnail for my shorts now!

[@MGANY2]

We hope for an update to activate the pin code instead of regular mail, especially in Yemen, because the postal service is bad and ineffective

[@braydenavery]

I would love to see Shorts thumbnails when a video is being uploaded through the KZbin website on a computer! Other than that, love the updates!❤👍

[@MajeedaArt]

This option is nice for shorts when it works but I've noticed that the feature freezes and requires multiple selection attempts via Android and sometimes you may have to start the upload process again from the beginning before the feature will accept your selection I hope this will be or perhaps has already been addressed ☮️

[@FatimasFlair]

Feature Requests: Exact detail for community guideline strikes, i.e. Not suitable for all audiences. In the same or similar format as a copy right strike for music with time stamp etc. Also, user friendly steps for editing a video that is already public. Its difficult to edit a public video i.e. adding mosaic to cover body parts that YT does not deem appropriate etc.

[@Tolbat]

Or make it so they stop abusing first amendment protections and allow us to post just about anything we want. Thats how it used to be and still should be,

[@rcindoofficialid]

Nice

[@pakistan.bike.tourist]

Shorts bring you often irrelevant subscribers. they may not understand the language of your regular videos and they don't watch. It feels like they are ghost subscribers that don't exist in reality.

[@BrianSmS]

This is very helpful, thank you!

[@leroyTOReal]

Feature Request for Livestreaming: There is a too strict monetization policy on livestreams. Livestreams always getting yellow marked at the first minutes of a livestream. There is also a need of soulution when it comes to music. KZbin got to do it like Twicht when it comes to that topic in the livestreams. You always getting a copyright strike or a warning tht your livestream is about to shutdown due to copyright. Also a ad free livestream for members would be a great idea for more engagement and members for each creator. There is a lot of potential in KZbin Livestremas, I hope y'all max them out!

[@namaltvoff]

Hi, you're right! I'll also add that they need to change the button "subscribe" to "follow" cause for example when new viewers come to my channel while i'm live, they think if they subscribe they will pay but it's free. Actually the word "subscribe" is used to spend money for a service. I think its much better to use "Follow" and "subscribe" for people who want to be member of the channel

[@thebrosofperfect]

agreed

[@PeroMartic]

Yes they need to fix the copyright/copystrike problems! This is insane how many good creators lost their channels from small mistakes (copystrikes) they didn't know about...

Thank you, KZbin, for the great new features. While we're on the topic of live broadcasts, when I play music during my stream, I receive dozens of copyright claims emails after the broadcast. I wish the copyright issues for live streams could be handled similarly to how they are handled in shorts.

[@Littleglove]

Amazing 😊

[@JetPOD90]

Create a function to control subscribers. To do this, you'll need to do two things. First, give authors the ability to see the last date of each subscriber's last visit to the channel individually through Creative Studio. I'm talking about the subscriber's visit to the author's channel, not all of KZbin. Second, give the channel author a way to remind subscribers about the channel by sending them a personal notification/call or the right to remove a subscriber if he/she hasn't been to a particular author's channel for over three months. This will help authors control inactive subscribers and remove them. It will also improve the quality of channels and make it easier for authors. It's better to have 100 active followers than a million dead subscribers.

[@itsMohak]
