YouTube content creators could sometimes stumble into errors, especially when making their videos for their channel. There's no turning back when you spot an error because there's no way that you can correct the mistakes.

Fortunately, the company has introduced a new feature that won't allow users to resort to editing and re-uploading the clip. Through the new "corrections" feature, users could easily add a note to a video along with an obvious correction.

YouTube now makes it easier for the content creators to add notes whenever there's a correction on the videos.

According to The Verge's report on Wednesday, June 15, YouTube has recently added the ability to add corrections to videos. This feature will help you avoid unnecessary re-uploading of your content, plus you won't lose all the engagement that you earn from it.

With the new "Corrections'' feature, you can now easily attach the corrections to a clip. The corrections will pop out in the top right corner of the video. What's more, is that there's a timestamp for you to see the particular correction.

It's easy to spot since you will need to tap the card with "View corrections." After that, you can now see the notes on the clip's description.

If you want to learn how to add the corrections, visit Google's support page for more details.

YouTube Launches Health Source Information Panels

The age of misinformation appears to be a never-ending cycle for the community. Some people know how to spot fake news, while others fall into the same trap all over again.

One of the sectors that are usually portrayed to be an outlet for misinformation is the health sector. Many medical advice harms the users instead of giving help since they come from unverified sources.

According to Digital Health, YouTube has unveiled a new feature that will aid UK people in seeking credible information about health and other related topics.

As such, the video-viewing platform has rolled out health source information panels for users to see that the video comes from a reliable and trusted source.

This means that the information from the clips that you will watch is guaranteed to hail from "health organizations with government accountability."

As per YouTube Health's Garth Graham, if the organizations want to be a legitimate source of health information online, they will need to undergo self-certification (NHS) before making their own health-related content. Once the screening is successful, their content will now have a health information panel.

In other news, Tech Times reported that YouTube wanted to control the content on the platform by removing the spam comments. The company introduced an "increase strictness" beta to introduce a better content moderation from the community.
