Publish clips, edits, screenshots, guides and posts
Which five formats you create as a creator in the Creator Studio, how you publish them and what happens if the team hides an item.
Published
As an approved creator, you publish your content yourself in the Creator Studio. The team doesn't approve posts in advance. If you're not a creator yet, read Become a creator first.
The five formats
Clip: a YouTube video with title, description and cover.
Edit: an edited video via a YouTube link or exactly one edited image.
Screenshot: a single image or a gallery of up to 12 images.
Guide: a walkthrough with headings, lists and links.
Post: a short post or an update for your community.
You can only add videos via a YouTube link or the video ID; there's no direct video upload. You upload images as JPG, PNG, WebP or AVIF with up to 10 MB per image. Give every image an alt text that describes it.
Creating and publishing an item
In the Creator Studio, open Create content and pick the format. You can't change the type later.
Enter a title (up to 140 characters), a summary (up to 300 characters) and the language of the item: German or English.
Depending on the format, add a video, images or text. Tags (up to 8), a cover image and search engine details are optional.
Decide whether signed-in members may comment.
Select Create draft. Use “Show preview” to check the saved version.
Select Publish.
After publishing
Saved changes to a published item are public immediately.
“Unpublish” turns the item back into a draft. “Archive” takes it out of public view, and “Publish again” brings it back.
Every save and every status change creates an entry in the history.
Every item appears in exactly one language. For a translation, you create a separate item.
If you change the address of a published item, existing links to it stop working.
Deleting isn't available in the studio. For a final deletion, write to us using the contact form.
Where your content appears
Published content appears on your creator page and in the lists for each format, for example under Clips or Creator guides. It's only publicly visible while your profile is public, your creator access is active and the team hasn't hidden the item.
If the team hides an item
If an item breaks the creator guidelines, the team can hide it. Text and media stay unchanged. You get a notification, and the studio shows “Hidden by the team” on the item, together with the reason. You can keep editing it. It only appears publicly again once the team shows it again.
Members can flag content to the team using “Report”, see Report content and users. How to design your page is explained in Your creator page.
