YouTube has rolled out a new update that lets creators see how much of their traffic comes from paid promotions compared to organic reach. According to the company, this new feature in YouTube Analytics allows creators to filter key metrics such as views, engaged views, likes, comments, shares, and watch time.

The goal is to give creators insight into how both their advertising spend and organic strategies contribute to performance. Before now, YouTube Analytics grouped all traffic under general engagement data, making it difficult for creators to know whether growth was driven by ads or organic discovery. With the new breakdown, creators can now see how their paid promotions perform alongside their regular content.

For instance, a creator running a paid campaign can now view the number of views and watch time generated by that campaign and compare it to results from organic traffic.

The update is currently available only to U.S.-based users who are part of YouTube’s testing program.

YouTube introduces dual-format streaming

The company also announced a new dual-format streaming option that allows creators to broadcast horizontally and vertically at the same time. The vertical feed, YouTube says, will be eligible for Shorts discovery. The platform will automatically generate layouts from the horizontal stream to make the content fit both formats without additional editing.

Edit with AI brings first-draft video creation

YouTube is also introducing “Edit with AI,” a tool designed to help creators turn raw footage into a first-draft edit. The company claims that the tool automatically assembles clips with transitions, background music, and narration. The AI-generated drafts can then be adjusted manually by the creator.
