YouTube adds local versions in six new countries

Google today announced that YouTube has local versions in 85 countries, adding Adriatics, Baltics, Bulgaria, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Belarus just today. As you can imagine, global reach is important to Google, especially when it comes to YouTube with 80% of its viewership being outside of the United States.

From Google:

Local versions of YouTube are good news for creators, too. It opens up the opportunity for creators to become a partner, earn money from their channels, and gain access to tools and resources that can help them make the most of YouTube. Creators can access online lessons via the YouTube Creator Academy to get started and learn best practices, and the Creator Community gives creators a place to meet each other, find collaborations, and more. We hope that this will allow more creators to bring more of their ideas and talents to YouTube for all of us to enjoy.

In other words, users in these six new countries can expect to see better quality videos as creators begin to take advantage of YouTube’s many creator opportunities.
