In addition, the company also says that creators can customize the layout of YouTube channels so viewers can view channel footage, flagship videos, flagship parts, and sections of For You when they open your channel's Homeless tab.

You can activate the availability of features and change the settings in YouTube Studio by selecting Customization > Layout, then checking every hint in the For You section.

This setting allows you to switch whether full-form videos, short videos, and live streaming are available for the feature.

"This section displays a mix of personalized content based on what each viewer has watched. You can select the type of content to display and select to only display content that has just been posted in the last 12 months," the announcement concluded.

For information, according to Engadget, the company actually introduced the feature in May, and posted it to the Creator Insider channel, a center where YouTube employees had a direct conversation' with YouTubers.
