YouTube Expands Auto-Dubbing Access for All YPP Creators
YouTube has announced the expansion of its auto-dubbing feature, now available to all creators in the YouTube Partner Program (YPP). This highly anticipated feature allows creators to automatically translate their content's audio, making it accessible to a wider audience.
Previously in limited access, auto-dubbing is now available to all YPP members via YouTube Studio. While lip-sync technology is still under development, this feature offers a significant opportunity to break down language barriers and reach a global audience.

Introducing "Combo Gifting" for Live Streams
YouTube has also launched "Combo Gifting," a new feature allowing viewers to send multiple digital gifts at once during live streams. This addresses the growing trend of viewers sending multiple gifts to stand out and engage with streamers.
After sending a gift, a "Combo" button appears for a few seconds, allowing viewers to send additional gifts. Each gift adds to a visible on-screen counter, enhancing viewer engagement and streamer recognition.
Maximizing the Impact of Gifting
To maximize the benefits of gifting, YouTube offers these tips for creators:
- Express Gratitude: Acknowledge every gift-giver in real-time to foster a sense of community.
- Engage with Gifts: React uniquely to gifts or incorporate inside jokes to enhance the interaction.
- Highlight Gifts: Draw attention to gifts received on stream and explain how viewers can participate.
Combo Gifting is currently available only in the U.S. This feature, along with the best practice tips, aims to boost streamer engagement and revenue potential.
