YouTube to launch 'For You' feature on home tab, offering personalized content suggestions
YouTube is set to introduce a new feature named "For you" on the Home tab of channel pages from November 20th. The feature will suggest content to users based on their viewing history. Creators are advised to adjust their channel settings and decide on the content they want to appear in this section before the feature's official launch.
The "For you" feature will be presented in a carousel-style view on mobile, combining videos, shorts, and livestreams from a channel. The update aims to bring older content back into view, potentially increasing its visibility. However, it may push curated content lists lower on the screen, potentially reducing their visibility.
Creators can control these settings on the web and through the YouTube Studio app by accessing channel settings. The "For you" panel is not mandatory and creators can choose to enable it based on their preferences.
