YouTube Is Testing a New Community Tab for Sharing Images, Text, and More.
YouTube has long wanted to be more than just a home for your videos. The company is now expanding differently than Google + . Some channels now have a Community tab where authors can post text, images, and more.
The new features were developed in collaboration with several YouTube channels including AsapSCIENCE , The Game Theorists and others. These contributors will be the first to try out the new Community tab, but others will follow.
Fans can follow the Community tab and receive direct notifications when the channel posts something new. It is hoped that YouTube creators will be able to keep in touch with their fans right on the site without relying on external social media.
