Overview
- YouTube began rolling out the new custom feed this week as a Home-page chip that generates a continuous, prompt-driven stream of videos based on user text queries or suggested prompts.
- Users access the feature by tapping the “Your custom feed” chip, typing a natural-language prompt in a text box, and saving the result as an editable chip pinned to the top of the Home page.
- The roll out is limited to people signed in in the United States who have search and watch history turned on, and it is available on both mobile and desktop.
- Saved feeds refresh constantly and can be edited at any time, and users can report problems through the feature’s menu to give YouTube feedback on relevance and quality.
- The move follows April’s Ask YouTube trials and represents a cautious shift toward prompt-style discovery that could change how creators get traffic and how YouTube tunes recommendations and ranking.
