YouTube announced on Friday that it is currently working on an app for video creators that will give them tools to help better manage their smartphones and tablets.
The news came in the first video of a new series of "Creator Preview" videos, which was made to show improvements made to the service before they are released, according to PC Magazine.
"We saw creators struggling a lot with not being able to do basic YouTube management stuff on their phone," YouTube's Molly Nix said in the video. "We saw this as a really great opportunity for us to build something that you guys can use on the go, and manage your channel anywhere you are."
The videos were created as a result of the video-sharing website's global satisfaction survey, Daily Digest News reported. The survey is conducted twice a year to encourage the company's partners and content creators to talk about what they are working on and provide feedback.
YouTube is also focusing on ways to tie donations, user contributions, and other sources of funding closer to the website itself, PC Magazine reported. The company is doing this so users wouldn't have to go to third-party sites to contribute to their favorite content creators.
The company did not reveal any details in the videos on how it would achieve this goal.
The website also introduced a new method for cover song artists to make money for the work they put out, Daily Digest News reported. These content creators will be able to earn revenue as long as the feature is given permission by the original copyright owner.
YouTube is also improving its caption capabilities so that content creators would be able to crowd-source the process of captioning, PC Magazine reported. Users would be able to submit captions for the videos they watch in over 60 different languages supported officially by the website.
"Now, we want to know what you think of what we're working on. Share your thoughts with us on Google+ or Twitter- we'll be reading, responding and using your feedback to help make these upcoming launches even better," YouTube said in a post.
