This subtle new YouTube feature helps creators set the record straight

Have you ever hit send, upload or publish on a piece of media bearing an embarrassing mistake? Let’s be honest: we’ve all been there – and even YouTubers are guilty of the occasional inaccuracy.

Thankfully, YouTube has introduced a handy new feature, Corrections, to help creators more easily address their blunders. As of June 15, YouTubers can now add an infocard to already-uploaded videos that viewers can expand and read at a chosen timestamp. This pop-up note will appear in the top right-hand corner of the screen, and is designed to give creators the option of correcting mistakes even after hitting the upload button.
