Hello, everybody! Happy November! Another week goes by, and I'm back again to share the Freedom! Community Team's perspective. Today we'll catch up on some things around the forums, peek at some important articles, discuss some general updates, and finally we will take a close look at a recent episode of The George Show.
Let's Wrap Up This Week!
Movember Contest!
It's a new month, that means the last contest's winners have been announced and a new contest is beginning here on the forums! November is the Movember contest! They want all of you to submit pictures of your handsome mustaches and be sure to include in the photo a sign that says "Freedom! Movember Contest". This sounds like it could lead to some really fun submissions! Don't count yourselves out if you don't have a 'stache, just put on a fake one! Good luck to all who participate! Have fun! Be sure to check out the thread, see the winners from last month and get involved in the new contest! Here's the official contest post: https://freedom.community.tm/threads/movember-contest-100-in-prizes-to-be-won.215125/

A helpful post about YouTube Tags!
I nearly missed this one, sincere apologies for that! At the very end of October, a great post was started discussing YouTube tags. Great job to @Crazylawrence for hitting an important topic! Please do get involved when you see great discussions like this! Check out the thread: https://freedom.community.tm/threads/how-to-properly-tag-your-videos.214372/
Anthony Interviewed by Gaddr!
This is seriously a definite must read article! Anthony answered some great questions, and in much detail and depth. Very well done interview in my opinion! http://stories.gaddr.me/why-people-love-videos-asian-social-media/
New Community Team Members!
I'd like to officially announce and introduce 2 of our newest recruits to the Freedom! Community Team! They are (insert drum roll plz) @VoiaGmer and @ThatNerdWithTheHair !! We're very happy to have them on the team with us, and I'm enjoying getting to know them. They're both great role models with good channels and tons of potential! We're lucky to be working with them in my opinion!
Who's on a plane and why?
Community Team member Layanor is on a plane right now!! Why? He's headed to Freedom! HQ in the Philippines! He is the first from the team to make the big trip! If you've been reading these Wrap Ups and/or keeping up with the MGN community, you might know Layanor from all of the live streaming and videos he's done on the MGN channel the last couple of months! You also might know him from both the Freedom! and MGN discord servers! He's a very active, helpful, and important member of the community. The team is quite proud of him!
The Minecraft Server is awesome!
So far, the public MC server is a success! Haven't seen it yet? Whyyy not? The latest news is: Mini games are now open! Check it out: mc.mgn.tm
Extra Life charity live streams
Community Team Member Frosted Fricks did a 24 hour live stream this weekend, there's actually a video about Extra Life on the Freedom! channel by Fricks! Did you check out his stream? Did you or someone you know do a charity stream this weekend too? Tell us about it in a reply to this thread!
YT Creator Blog | Improving Content ID
The newly developed solutions that were promised back in April, are now an actual thing! YouTube has improved Content ID for creators! Now if you choose to dispute a claim within the first five days of receiving it, YouTube will hold the revenue made, from the day the Content ID claim was placed. If you dispute after five days from the original claim, YouTube will still hold the revenue; however, it's from when the dispute is made. This will help to prevent creators from losing money due to claims made incorrectly. See the full YouTube Creator Blog article: https://youtube-creators.googleblog.com/2016/11/update-improving-content-id-for-creators.html
YT Creator Blog | New Comment Section Tools
This definitely caught my attention! YouTube has rolled out some new comment tools! For all of us creators these kinds of updates are important! Interacting with your audience is extremely important! What are the new features? Pinned Comments, to promote featured comments! Hearts that signify that the Channel Owner is showing some love and acknowledging comments! Last but not least, creator usernames now have a pop of color that makes it easier for viewers to tell that comments are coming from them!

★ #askGeorge - How to use it!
George has started the #askGeorge hashtag, and he'll be focusing on looking for this hashtag when choosing comments to feature and questions to answer in The George Show episodes.
I'm going to try something a little different this time. I'm going to share my notes of the major points discussed in the video with you! Please feel free to watch the video as well if you have not yet! I highly recommend watching The George Show regularly, because if you don't - frankly, you're missing out on a ton of information.
✔ Primetime on YouTube Gaming. Scheduled block of content from established gamers, every week night!
✔ New process for inviting channels to join Freedom! that involves direct guidance to get the "learn more" button. Get connected with someone from Freedom! in a live chat!
✔ George features and responds to comments from the previous episode of The George Show where he had discussed music restrictions that everyone should know about.
✔ Reminder about new YouTube End Screens for all!
✔ No limit to how long you can livestream on YouTube; but as @Showcase One Media pointed out in a featured comment, the DVR feature only captures 12 hours.
✔ George encourages people to contact him on Linked In to discuss projects and jobs with Freedom! if you have any ideas you wish you could talk to him about.
✔ Rapid Tags partnership! www.rapidtags.io they're working toward integrating Rapid Tags into the Freedom! Dashboard to make it exclusive for the Freedom! Family.
✔ Something else starting with "R" is coming soon! We don't know what, but we're looking forward to an announcement and I'll be sure to include the announcement in the Wrap Up when the time comes!
