We’ve got some updates to share from Meta: first up, ad overlays in Reels. Tapping into the popularity of this feature, selected brands can now have their content appear as banners on Reels videos, or video ads in between Reels. Exciting! 

Also, an updated URL ingestion process is making it easier to put offers into your ads, by taking content from the linked site. Here’s a better look at that. And lastly, Meta’s AI chatbot has gotten some updates, including the option to choose the particular model you use. 

Next up, YouTube has added the option to save sounds from Shorts. A new “Inspiration” tag has also appeared, where content and creation tips can be found. Sticking with the musical theme, AI-powered radio stations are now available on YouTube Music. 

If you’ve been hoping for thumbnail customization options for YouTube Shorts, this next update might be of interest: the option to customize the “thumb-frame” of your Shorts after uploading.

And finally, Community Spaces, a Reddit-like text post option, is in the testing stages for select users. 

Let us know which of these updates you’re most excited about!
