YouTube have told news publishers that they plan to start testing a feature for viewers to subscribe to their content straight from their videos and channels.<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n

According to Digiday<\/a>, YouTube have been in talks with news organisations since last year to launch a new feature. The tool, which they plan to begin testing this year, will allow users to subscribe to content directly from YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The feature resembles Channel Memberships<\/a> which YouTube launched for creators in 2018. However, whereas that provided an on-YouTube subscription with benefits specifically built into YouTube, this new feature will allow users to pay a subscription for third-party content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, news publishers who post news videos to YouTube can advertise subscriptions to their pay-walled news website. Reportedly, news publishers have been asking YouTube to provide more options for them to make money on their platform for a while since advertisers are less likely to place ads on videos of news than general content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to reports, publishers aren’t actually sure whether their YouTube viewership are likely to actually sign up to content through YouTube. However, one executive said, “It’s a new marketing opportunity for us.” Whether that alone is enough for YouTube to fully introduce the feature or for publishers to use it, we’ll have to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouTube are planning to start testing the feature later this year and will be looking at how popular the feature is as well as deciding how much of a cut their platform should make from any subscriptions that are signed up to through YouTube.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
