YouTube invites users to try out its community notes feature.

In June, YouTube introduced its new community notes feature. This feature enables viewers to submit brief blurbs to add extra context or correct information related to specific video content. The rollout of this feature precedes the US presidential election.

While there is no official launch date yet, YouTube has included instructions on how to write and submit notes in its “Help” database. We have also contacted Google for comments on this new feature.

Currently, the pilot program is available only in English and for mobile devices in the US, as stated on the support page. YouTube has mentioned that participants will be selected via email or their Creator Studios account. This select group of test subjects will give feedback on the notes’ usefulness—whether they are “helpful,” “somewhat helpful,” or “unhelpful”—to assist the platform in refining the feature before its public release, according to the official YouTube blog.
