On the page that comes up, click on “Get Your Page”. 8. You will then be presented with three different business types. Choose the one with which your business most closely identifies. image 4: create your business page 3 ©2015 Mindful Media Services These three choices include: → Storefront This is for those with an actual brick and mortar location such as restaurants, retail stores, hotels, etc. → Service Area This is for those who provide services within a given area such as plumbers, delivery services, taxi services, etc. → Brand This is for a business that provides a image 5: choose your business type product but does not have a storefront, a sports team, a band, a cause, etc. (see image 5). 9.

Click on the link at the bottom that says, “To use a business or other name, click here” (see image 2). image 2: link YouTube to your Google+ business 5 ©2015 Mindful Media Services 3. You will then be taken to a page where you will see both of your newly created Google+ profiles, personal and business. Select your business Google+ page. YouTube will ask you to confirm that you are creating a channel for this Google+ page. Click “OK”. Your Google+ business page and your new YouTube channel will now be connected (see image 3). image 3: connection successful Step 3: Verification In order to activate some really useful features of YouTube, your Channel needs to be verified. It's a simple process that unlocks these great tools. #1 Custom Thumbnails Video Thumbnails let people see a quick snapshot of your video. After your video is finished uploading, you'll be able to choose a thumbnail from the three options YouTube automatically generates. If your account is verified and in good standing, you have the ability to upload custom thumbnails for your video uploads. This is important because the ones YouTube generate rarely capture images that accurately reflect your content. Instead, you can create memorable, attention grabbing thumbnails that will motivate folks to click and view your video. 6 ©2015 Mindful Media Services #2 External Annotations YouTube offers a feature called External Annotations that can offer big results for the small business owner using video. External Annotations can create clickable links inside your YouTube videos that immediately send your viewers directly to your website. External Annotations can help convert more of your viewers into visitors and increase your traffic! #3 Longer Videos The time limit for non-verified channels is 15 minutes, which is lifted once you verify your channel. This feature is great for more detailed how-to videos or replays of talks, seminars and webinars. #4 ID Content Appeals If you upload a video that contains copyright-protected material, you could end up with a Content ID claim. These claims are issued by companies that own music, movies, TV shows, video games, or other copyright-protected material. If you have the required rights to use the copyright-protected content in your video, or if you think the system has somehow misidentified your video, you can dispute the claim. 7 ©2015 Mindful Media Services #5 Live Events When your channel is verified and in good standing, you can enable live events from your Account Features page. Once your channel is enabled for live events, you’ll see a "Live Events" option in your Video Manager. With Hangouts On Air, you can host and broadcast live discussions and performances to the world through your Google+ Home page and YouTube channel. You can also edit and share acopy of the broadcast. It is also possible to broadcast using other streaming video software. As you can see, verification is apretty important step to take as you set up your YouTube Channel. It allows you to use YouTube in aprofessional way, helps you engage more deeply with your audience, and provides away to convert viewers into subscribers, fans and more importantly, customers. 8 ©2015 Mindful Media Services Verify Your Account On YouTube, click on the profile icon in the top right hand corner. Make sure to select your new channel linked to your Google+ business page. Go back to your YouTube Channel’s Creator Studio by clicking on your channel icon in the top right hand corner and selecting “Creator Studio” (see image 1). 1. From the menu on the left side of the screen, choose “Channel”. image 1: get to Creator Studio 2. You will now see a list of your channel’s features. At the top is your Account Status with a “Verify” button next to it. Click “Verify”. This is a crucial step because once verified, you can post videos longer than 15 minutes in length. 3. Choose whether the verification code will be sent to you via an automated voice message or by text. Enter your phone number and click image 2: verify your account “Submit”. 4. You will be taken to an account verification page where you need to enter the 6-digit verification code sent to you by Google (see image 2). Enter your code and click “Submit”. 9 ©2015 Mindful Media Services Now that you are fully verified, the last step before being able to have a Hangout on Air is to create a separate username and password for your Google+ page that will allow the apps within Google+ Hangouts to work properly. 1. Go back to your Business Google+ page (www.plus.google.com). 2. Click on your icon in the top right corner and click “Settings” (see image 3). 3. Scroll down to Third-Party Tools image 3: my business settings and select “Set up a password”. Follow the on-screen prompts.

    Yaletap University Thurman Arnold Project Digital Platform Theories of Harm Paper Series: 4 Report on Google’s Conduct in Advertising Technology May 2020 Lissa Kryska Patrick Monaghan I. Introduction Traditional advertisements appear in newspapers and magazines, on television and the radio, and on daily commutes through highway billboards and public transportation signage. Digital ads, while similar, are powerful because they are tailored to suit individual interests and go with us everywhere: the bookshelf you thought about buying two days ago can follow you through your favorite newspaper, social media feed, and your cousin’s recipe blog. Digital ads also display in internet search results, email inboxes, and video content, making them truly ubiquitous. Just as with a full-page magazine ad, publishers rely on the revenues generated by selling this ad space, and the advertiser relies on a portion of prospective customers clicking through to finally buy that bookshelf. Like any market, digital advertising requires the matching of buyers (advertisers) and sellers (publishers), and the intermediaries facilitating such matches have more to gain every year: A PwC report estimated that revenues for internet advertising totaled $57.9 billion for 2019 Q1 and Q2, up 17% over the same half-year period in 2018.1 Google is the dominant player among these intermediaries, estimated to have netted 73% of US search ad spending2 and 37% of total US digital ad spending3 in 2019. Such market concentration prompts reasonable questions about whether customers are losing out on some combination of price, quality, and innovation. This report will review the significant 1 PricewaterhouseCoopers for IAB (October 2019), Internet Advertising Revenue Report: 2019 First Six Months Results, p.2.

  • Creating Google Street Views with the Samsung Gear 360 Camera By
    Creating Google Street Views with the Samsung Gear 360 Camera1 by Andy Lyons ​ Last modified: November 2016 Google Street View Camera Loan Kit In October 2016, Google loaned a 360-camera kit to IGIS (a statewide technical support program in ANR), for the purposes of exploring how Google’s Street View technology can be useful for research and management at the Hopland Research and Extension Center (and ANR field stations more generally). Street View app and the Samsung Gear 360 2 The Street View app (for both Android and iOS) is what you use to create and upload Street Views. The Samsung Gear 360 is one of about four 360 cameras that the Google Street View app is setup to work with (meaning the app can control the camera pretty seamlessly). Most people use the Street View app only to view off-road street views. You can also view off-road street views in plain old Google Maps, but the Street View app makes it a little easier to find user generated content. If you have a VR device such as the Google Cardboard, you can view Street Views in 3 cardboard mode .​ In terms of content creation, the Street View app has three main functions: i) control the camera, ii) process images (which includes stitching them together, blurring faces and license plates, adding locations as needed, and linking nearby photos), and iii) upload the images to Google Street View (after which they’ll be available in Google Maps immediately). The Samsung Gear can also record 360 video. For that you need the Samsung Gear 360 Manager (or another app).

LINK YOUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL WITH A GOOGLE+ PAGE Google now requires you to link your YouTube channel with a Google+ page to change your channel name and add managers to your page.

    youtube tv app will not download google play Unable to install or update YouTube app on Android? Here's what you need to know. We don’t need to emphasize on how popular Google’s video sharing platform YouTube is (or has been) among the masses. Last year, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki shared the service had 1.8 billion monthly logged-in viewers. And it’s reasonable to assume, the number must have further shot up. When it comes to providing support for older devices, majority services draw a line, and hence go for or contribute to what is popularly known as planned obsolesce. YouTube also took on such step back in 2015, where they retired Data API v2, terminating app support on devices manufactured before 2013. YouTube app on iPhone. The change mainly impacted older devices like Apple TVs, iOS devices (iPhones and iPads), smart TVs, gaming consoles etc. While the company’s move made it to news headlines, the announcement didn’t convey anything regarding older Android phones. Looks like the step the company took back then is affecting many users till date and they are confused why they can’t install YouTube app on their phones. And majority inquirers own Android device. Users say, they’re asked to update the YouTube app, but when they try to do so by heading to Google Play Store, they’re notified the app isn’t compatible or it can’t be installed on their units. Humongous number of users have been reporting this for over months now across YouTube community.
