Overview

• YouTube has introduced a new feature allowing some creators to reply to video comments using voice recordings.
• The feature is currently available to a small group of creators in the U.S. and can only be accessed through the iOS YouTube app.
• Creators can record and post voice replies to comments on their own videos, with users able to listen to the audio or view a transcription.
• Viewers can engage with these voice replies like regular comments, but the feature is not yet available for creators to use on videos outside their own channels.
• YouTube states the goal of this experiment is to encourage more meaningful interactions between creators and their audiences, though broader rollout plans remain unconfirmed.
