Edit video details in Studio

menu_book Lesson 2 of 5 schedule 6 min read

Everything about a published video can be improved later. Open Studio → Content, pick a video, and you are in the editor.

Title, description, tags, category — changing these updates search and recommendations going forward.
Thumbnail — replace it any time. If a video underperforms, a better thumbnail is the single most effective fix (see the thumbnails lesson).
Captions — upload a subtitle file; the captions lesson explains the format and the player menu.
End screens and cards — point viewers to your next video, a playlist, or your subscribe button at the end of the video.
Visibility and scheduling — make a video private, or publish a draft at a chosen time.

The editor also carries per-video controls every creator should know:

Age restriction — restrict a video to signed-in viewers who have confirmed they are 18 or older.
Country blocking — block playback in specific countries you choose.
Downloads — decide whether viewers may download this video for offline viewing. Only videos you uploaded yourself can offer this.
Rights confirmation — confirm you have the rights to publish what you uploaded. Only publish content you own or are licensed to use.

Changes save to the same live video — viewers see updates without you re-uploading anything.
