Watch on YouTube 🤔
I've this "Watch on YouTube" overlay, in the bottom left corner of some YouTube video embeds.
When clicked it opens the watch page with the variable "emb_imp_woyt" at the end of the URL.
I can't find any info on it and the overlay has now (for me) stopped showing.
Anyone know anything about this?

Geo-tag OR Hashtag?
YouTube currently seems to allow you to Geo-tag a video OR hashtag a video, but not do both.
Bizzarly it seems that although YouTube's instructions with hashags are to add them in your video title or description, it appears that inclusion on the hashtag landing page is dependant on the hastag showing in the video chin, the small space below the video just above the video title.
The chin is where any geo-tag you have applied to the video shows and applying a geo-tag prevents any applied hashtags from showing in the chin.
So, it's really a choice of either or and for me in this use-case I dropped the geo-tag so that the video does get indexed for the hashtag page.
I'll seek some clarity from YouTube about this, as it would be helpful to be able to geo-tag AND use hashtags.

YouTube is pushing Shorts on mobile
I see that the mobile view for channels is starting to heavily push "Shorts" which is still in beta.
To take advantage you just need to upload videos which are under on min long and in a vertical format.

'Age-Restricted' - YouTube
YouTube is now flagging content as part of the upload process and the algorythim may be a little keen. I had my latest video automatically 'age-restricted' though I cannot see how or why it may have triggered the algorythim.
The communication I recieved states that "our team has reviewed your content" though that cannot be the case; it has to be algorythimic I'd say.
If you're over 18 and logged into YouTube you can view the video here. I'd be interested to hear your best guess; what do you think could have triggered the flag?

Want your YouTube videos to be viewed off of YouTube?
You will have seen that social media platforms are adding links to Corona information for posts which "talk about" Covid-19: YouTube has been adding this Covi-19 chin.
One consequence, which might not be obvious, is that videos such as this will not play in the embedded player. People will need to click through to watch on YouTube, where the chin is visible.
So, unless your video is really about Covid-19 do not mention Covid or Corona in your video titles or descriptions. As doing so removes the external opportunity to see.

A home for all of your YouTube Clips ✂️
Since I first wrote about YouTube Clips there have been a number of small updates.
With this latest update YouTube have added a Clips link to the main navigation which links to a page where you can see all the clips you have made.
👉 youtube.com/feed/clips
What's needed now is the option for channel admins to opt-in (or out) of Clips, both at a channel level and at the individual level.

YouTube Clips Goes Mainstream
We first spotted clips being tested a while back, then a place for your clips was integrated into the menu.
Now we have a proper feature lanch video with fancy graphics and details of how channels can opt out of their content being clipped.
Satisfied? How else could this feature be improved?
EDIT: Why you don't have this feature yet.
