YouTube Premieres is a great feature to help you create a buzz around your video and boost views pre-launch. With Premieres, you can bring together viewers to watch your latest videos in real-time, just like a launch night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. How To Set Up Premieres<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can create a Premiere pretty much the same way you upload any video. Hit the upload button &gt; select the video you want to upload &gt; while the video is being uploaded, head over to the \u201cvisibility\u201d tab &gt; instead of publishing the video immediately, you need to choose the \u201cschedule\u201d option &gt; set the time and date you want &gt; make sure you check the \u201cset as Premiere\u201d box.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now you should see a shareable watch page pop up with a chat window. You can use this watch page to engage with your community and post updates on the chat window to promote your Premiere. Your video will also have a \u201cPremiere\u201d badge and highlights when the video is scheduled to launch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube Premieres\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Wbi_Ic1DDwQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Use the chat window to connect with viewers before and after the premiere<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Engage with viewers in the chat window and keep the buzz going! Let your fans know that you\u2019re going to be watching the video with them. For example, you can make an announcement saying \u201cThank you for joining in, I\u2019m thrilled to watch the premiere with you. I can\u2019t wait to share what\u2019s in store!\u201d. As you\u2019re the creator, your chat will be pinned right at the top of your chat window, so your fans can\u2019t miss it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do note, you can turn on the Super Chat feature for monetization and donations if you\u2019re eligible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1683 \" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/14013503\/snapp-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"805\" height=\"492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/14013503\/snapp-1.jpg 499w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/14013503\/snapp-1-300x183.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 805px) 100vw, 805px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>3.

This is when your premiere will reappear on your subscriber\u2019s feeds.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the countdown ends, your viewers can watch your exciting launch video together with you!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1679 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/14013034\/sna.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"851\" height=\"573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/14013034\/sna.jpg 851w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/14013034\/sna-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/14013034\/sna-768x517.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 851px) 100vw, 851px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Plan a detailed premiere strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to YouTube Creator Academy, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/creatoracademy.youtube.com\/page\/lesson\/hype-with-premieres_in-action_image?cid=hype-with-premieres&amp;hl=en#strategies-zippy-link-1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the best time to upload a premiere<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is between 60 minutes and 3 hours before the release. Take out time to plan an effective premiere strategy that factors in how often you want to release a premiere. Also, consider which of your videos would give you the best results if they were promoted as a premiere video. You don\u2019t want all your videos to be premieres since you may lose out on its value if you overdo it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure you space out your premieres. If you publish videos daily, you can schedule a premiere once a week. Analyse important metrics like audience demand and existing hype around a topic while choosing a video to premiere.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube Premieres - When You Should Use Them\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MspGBs8pklc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Cross-promote your premiere and add value<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you wait with your subscribers for your premiere to launch, you can share your Premieres watch page url on your YouTube community tab and social media handles. Give viewers a motive to tune in to your premiere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Announce when and where your premiere will launch, and what activities can look forward to on the Premieres watch page before the video goes live. Some YouTubers give shoutouts to fans, directly respond to viewer comments, organise fun games, trivia, jokes or other fun activities on their Premieres page.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Boost Video Views with the YouTube Premiere Feature\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cK-Onu1HqFg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Wrap up your premiere with a bang<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once a premiere is over, doesn\u2019t mean the fun ends there. Premieres is a great place to continue the conversation and get audience feedback in real-time. You can also redirect your viewers to join you in a virtual after-party or a post-show VOD.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube Premieres: The 50 Year Experiment!\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3qM8QvbeUGY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">YouTube Premieres opens up a whole new way for creators to experiment with video promotions.
