Congratulations @MrBeast on making history as the first creator to reach 500 million subscribers on @YouTube! 🎉 This achievement is a testament to what’s possible when a creator has the freedom to follow their creativity and be their authentic selves. Jimmy, you are an incredible innovator and we're so proud to be part of your journey.

We’re constantly building to make the @YouTube experience better. This week, our teams rolled out: 📱A simplified mobile watch page with a cleaner layout and redesigned action icons. 🤝 In-app video sharing and messaging to more locations, giving users (18 ) a new way to react to content directly within the YouTube app. youtube.com/shorts/CYzVSApM7…

The countdown is over and we’re making sure you don't miss a single moment of this #FIFAWorldCup2026. Here’s how to tune in on @YouTube and catch all the action: blog.youtube/news-and-events…

Excited to bring #FIFAWorldCup fans closer to the pitch than ever before. We’re hosting a first-of-its-kind @YouTube FIFA Creator Cup match live from NYC on July 12, bringing together creators, athletes and celebrities 🏆 Plus, @YouTubeCreators will be on-the-ground capturing the sport, culture and community throughout the tournament ⚽️

Today, @YouTubeCreators like Brittany Broski, @cleoabram, @Jshap_bar and Kareem Rahma (@SubwayTakes) operate just like major studios, except they have a direct line to their fans. Our multi-title FYC event put their craftsmanship on full display as they take their rightful place in the Primetime Emmy conversation.

Perhaps no format is more defining to the @YouTube experience than music. We’ve built a gateway for fans to go deeper into an artist’s world, and @Madonna's “Confessions II - The Film” is the perfect example.

This week at @YouTube: 📺 @foxone launched on Primetime Channels (@peacock coming soon!). 🤳 For the sixth year, we received brand safety accreditation from the Media Rating Council (and are the first platform to earn this for short-form video). 🎶 We welcomed another group of talented artists into Foundry, @youtubemusic's global artist development program.

Excited to welcome another group of talented artists into @youtubemusic's Foundry Class of 2026, which has expanded to represent more regions than ever before. No format is more defining to the @YouTube experience than music. Our Foundry program empowers independent artists with grants, marketing and hands-on support so they can continue building careers on their own terms.

Congrats to @YouTubeCreators Kane Parsons and Curry Barker on breakout movie weekends for #Backrooms and @obsessionmovie! Inspiring to see Kane and Curry join the likes of Markiplier, director of #ironlungmovie, as creators who honed their craft on @YouTube and are now expanding their creative vision to include the big screen.

Today @foxone is launching on Primetime Channels, which make it easy to sign up for and watch your favorite streaming services without leaving @YouTube. You can watch all of their live channels (and over 100 @FIFAWorldCup matches) while using @YouTubeTV features like unlimited DVR, fully customizable multiview, and key plays. Excited to keep bringing new partners to Primetime Channels, including @peacock coming soon.

Congrats to @taaforg on their Heritage Month Summit in NYC and thank you for the recognition. It was inspiring to spend an evening with so many AAPI creators. Many of these creators started on @youtube because they didn't see people like them in traditional media. Now, they’re driving global culture, reaching millions of viewers, and building self-sustaining businesses.

In April, @youtube Premium users watched over 800M hours of podcasts. We're shipping new features in Premium that podcast listeners in particular will be excited about: 🚙On-the-go mode gives you easier access to listening controls (like skip forward) when you’re listening to videos in the background ⏩Auto speed increases speed during relevant moments like lengthy introductions 🎙️You can now use Ask Music to get personalized podcast recommendations across topics, genres, and more blog.youtube/news-and-events…
