YouTube is testing a groundbreaking new feature designed to expose misinformation. The 'Community Notes' tool is currently in the testing phase, and invitees have started sharing screenshots on X, revealing exciting details about this upcoming addition. Get ready to see how YouTube plans to tackle false information head-on!

YouTube has started testing the "Community Notes" feature, similar to the one on the social media platform X, for its videos.

This new feature aims to prevent the spread of misinformation and false information.

The feature is designed to curb the spread of "false or misleading information" that can go viral quickly on the internet, by alerting users on the platform.

Just like on X, YouTube users will be able to get closer to accurate information through 'community notes.'

If a third party marks a video as "helpful," "somewhat helpful," or "unhelpful," other viewers will also be able to see this note.

Additionally, the reasoning behind why the content was found to be helpful or unhelpful will be provided in this section. These feedback notes will also help train YouTube's algorithm.
