Good morning, we kick of this wonderful Social Saturday with @Elizabeth Bautista & @Emmanuel Cornelius joining the stage. Let's make them feel welcome as they start their streaming journey. This social Saturday feel free to drop questions. You have inspired me to build content with the questions you're asking.

Hey everyone, an important update for member who publish or plan to publish on YouTube — especially those using livestreams as part of their content strategy. YouTube has officially announced major changes to the YouTube Partner Program (YPP) requirements starting February 1, 2027. This is the biggest shift in years, and it directly affects creators who haven’t reached monetization yet. 🚨 What’s Changing? Beginning Feb 2027, new creators will need: - 1,000 subscribers (unchanged) - 8,000 public watch hours in the last 12 months (previously 4,000) OR - 20 million Shorts views in 90 days (previously 10 million) This means the bar to get monetized is doubling. ✨ Good News If you reach monetization before Feb 1, 2027, you’ll be grandfathered in under the old requirements. You keep your monetization — even after the new thresholds kick in. 🎥 Why This Matters for Us Livestreaming is one of the fastest ways to build watch time. If you’ve been thinking about reviving your old LinkedIn Lives or starting a new livestream rhythm, this is a perfect moment. Your long‑form conversations can help you reach the 4,000‑hour threshold before the new rules take effect. 🔗 Source Here’s the official YouTube Help update: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/13192680 (support.google.com in Bing) If you want help reviving your old livestreams or building a watch‑time strategy, drop a comment — happy to support.
