YouTube is adding a ‘Live Shopping’ feature

Shopping online is so much easier now, even if it is risky we still buy online. Typing the word mine, locked, steal or grab and being the first one is an achievement nowadays.

It feels like you won a lottery, especially if the item is really a steal. Another platform will soon be joining online shopping and it is Youtube. If you have been a fan of online selling on Youtube and Facebook you will not be lost on Youtube because it has the same features and more.

As part of the platform's 'Live Shopping' feature, YouTube will now let creators with compatible channels advertise items during live streams and manage them directly from the Live Control Room utilizing the platform's product tagging functionality.

There will be many settings features available for creators to explore with. To draw people in, they could tag items from their own shop or those of particular brands and merchants and provide additional incentives like promo codes and discounts.

So what makes this new feature interesting.

Even after the live chat is closed, viewers may browse a list of featured items by touching on the tagged products.

Interactive elements like Live Polls, Q&A, and the Live Chat feature allow creators to engage their audience in ongoing dialogues in real time. Viewers' experience with purchasing and paying for their purchases is simplified since they may do it without difficulty on their devices while the livestream is still playing in the player that is superimposed.

The functionality is presently accessible to channels that meet the requirements, giving priority to YouTube Partner Program producers. Additionally, YouTube claims that it will be extending the service to new areas in the coming months.
