What’s new in YouTube Community Search

This update makes Live Sync much richer — without wiping the posts you already saved — and adds analytics, multi-channel support, faster search, and more workspace options.

Chrome upgrades delayed Sorry about the release delay for the new upgrades version on Chrome. Until I get a Google support ticket cleared, I won’t be able to release it. It’s live now on Firefox and Edge.

Live Sync can now bring in

Poll options and votes
Post images
Posts beyond the old ~500 export cap (when Studio returns them)
Better merge: Get latest adds and updates by Post ID — it does not replace your whole library

New post sync: Get latest posts in seconds, with a success summary of posts added and updated. — Live Sync

Zip upload (advanced)

Studio zip/CSV is still available under Sync, but it is limited: metrics and text only — not full poll layouts or images. Prefer Live Sync (Get posts / Get latest posts) when you can.

Faster loading and search

The extension loads and searches more quickly thanks to improved web optimization under the hood.

Window modes and layouts

Side panel is now the default (instead of the toolbar dropdown)
In Settings you can still choose toolbar popup, detached window, or side panel
Expand the view in detached window or side panel for multi-column layouts

Analytics

Basic post analytics (Free)
Basic channel-wide post analytics (Free)
Advanced post analytics (Pro)
Best time to post insights (Pro)
Blueprints — formats of your top posts (Pro)

Post metrics

Multiple channels (Pro)

Pro users can add channels with the Add channel button — up to 3 channels — and switch between them in the extension.

CSV download (Pro)

Export your library to CSV for use in spreadsheets and other tools.

Free vs Pro

Free shows your top posts by impressions (up to 500), plus basic post and channel-wide analytics. Pro unlocks the full library, advanced analytics, best time to post, blueprints, CSV export, and multiple channels (up to 3). Existing free users keep their history; nothing is deleted to enforce the display cap.

Pro checkout

Upgrade opens a secure Lemon Squeezy checkout in your browser. After you finish, paste your license key on the Upgrade page to unlock Pro on that install. A limited Founding Member yearly rate may appear for a short window after you first view Upgrade.
