Let’s talk about age-restricted videos Over the last 24 hours, several creators, both in and out of the Fullscreen family, have come forward to report that some of their videos are being removed from users viewing content via the “Restricted Mode”. In an attempt to gather clarification, we reached out directly to YouTube, and while they aren’t able to reveal specifics about their algorithm, it seems that this comes down to specific metadata terms and age-restricted content. In a nutshell… Creators are finding out that some of their videos are not visible to particular audiences, specifically: “users who are logged out, are under 18 years […]

Office Hours Recap – 3.15.17 In this week’s Office Hours, we went over – well, quite a bit, so I highly suggest you watch the video to get a grasp on all the information we discussed. But if you don’t have time, then here’s a breakdown. The mysterious case of the sub box Let’s be honest here – no one knows what’s going on with YouTube’s subscription box!

Goodbye, YouTube annotations The day we all knew was eventually coming has finally arrived. YouTube is officially pulling the plug on annotations. Now before you start freaking out, let’s take a look at what this all means. It was only a matter of time YouTube has been not-so-subtly hinting at this change for quite some time now, and for good reason. With more than 60% of watchtime happening on mobile devices, annotations were becoming more useless by the day. More often than not, when you point to yourself and ask your viewers to “click on my face to subscribe”, clicking does absolutely nothing. […]

ANNOTATIONS: IT’S NOT YOU, IT’S US (ACTUALLY IT’S YOU) YouTube annotations have been by our side since before we can remember, but on May 2nd we have to say goodbye. We’ve accepted them for who they were – slightly annoying and desktop-only – and have been there for their ups and downs, helping creators and brands control the user experience on YouTube. Annotations touched all of us at some point (unless we only watch YouTube on our phones), whether encouraging us to subscribe, leading us to another video, or compelling us to go into our settings and turn them off. While annotations were beneficial to creators, themselves, many viewers […]

Brands Fighting New Battles on New Fronts Abraham Maslow said in 1966, “I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail.” Maslow wasn’t predicting the state of agencies 50 years in the future — but his observations about the human tendency to keep using the tools with which we’re most familiar holds true. As traditional advertising agencies and media companies face the changing needs of brands in the social age, many are struggling as they attempt to use the tools of the past. Fullscreen is an outsider –– in both the worlds of […]

HOW TO USE SOCIAL MEDIA FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE Social media is quick, easy, and accessible. With its real-time nature, brands are increasingly using social media for customer service, and customers are increasingly expecting timely responses. While it makes sense, it is important to remember that customer service and social media are separate entities. Monitoring engagement is a huge part of a successful social media strategy. When it comes to customer service, it just as important to converse with those who engage negatively with your content, as it is to respond to those advocating for your brand. Companies need to tactfully interact with each person in a transparent way […]
