Next, some more info has come out about YouTube’s AI-generated live chat summaries. The platform is also testing putting long- and short-form content together into one feed. If you’ve seen the experiment, let us know what you think!

Threads is still continuing to grow, with the addition of post scheduling, drafts, and analytics. Exciting!

Moving on to Meta, improved ad attribution and targeting is here. You can get the scoop on what that looks like here. Secondly, Meta’s Business Suite now allows you to connect up to ten profiles to your account, which will hopefully streamline management for creators.
