YouTube is introducing a new feature called “Courses,” designed to help creators share structured educational content directly through their channels. Initially announced in 2022 and tested with a select group of creators, this feature is now being rolled out more broadly, offering a new way for creators to both engage their audience and generate revenue.

Available through YouTube Studio on desktop, Courses allows creators to curate multi-lesson courses, complete with quizzes and dedicated discussion sections. These courses can be offered for free or at a one-time fee, providing an additional avenue for creators to monetize their content and expertise.
