Have you ever clicked send, upload or post to media with an embarrassing error? Let's be honest: We've all been there, and even YouTubers are guilty of occasional inaccuracies.
Fortunately, YouTube has introduced a new and useful feature, Corrections, to help creators fix their mistakes more easily. Starting June 15, YouTubers can now add an info card to already uploaded videos that viewers can expand and play at a chosen timestamp. This pop-up note will appear in the top right corner of the screen and is designed to give creators the opportunity to fix bugs even after they hit the download button.

Then in May, the company quietly launched a feature that gives users suggestions on where they can stream their music, while it's currently testing a widget that allows subscribers to better customize their radio queues.
