By signing in:

• If you use Google, you authorize access to the basic account information shown during Google's sign-in process.

Description of Service

NewStudio is a browser extension and web-based tool that enhances the YouTube Studio experience. Features may include analytics, account synchronization, creator alerts, and optional delivery of alerts by email or Discord.

NewStudio is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by YouTube or Google.

By using the Service, you also agree to comply with YouTube's Terms of Service.

Creator Alerts and Communications

When notifications are enabled, the extension may use your current authenticated YouTube and YouTube Studio session to review activity for channels available through your signed-in Google accounts and create alerts about channel, video, monetization, restriction, performance, revenue, and account-related events.

Alerts shown inside the extension are processed and stored locally in your browser. Email and Discord delivery are separate, optional features that require you to turn on the applicable delivery setting. Discord delivery also requires you to connect a Discord account and permit messages from the NewStudio bot.

You may turn off notifications, mute channels, disable individual alert types, or turn off email or Discord delivery in the available settings. Delivery timing and availability are not guaranteed and may depend on YouTube, Google, Discord, email providers, and other third-party services.

Channel Analytics (NewStats)

NewStats is an optional feature that adds an Analytics panel to public YouTube channel pages. When you open that panel, the extension reads the channel's publicly visible listing (video titles, thumbnails, lengths, rounded view counts, and upload timing, plus the channel's public description, subscriber count, total views, join date, and country) from YouTube in your browser, the same way the YouTube page you are viewing does, and sends that public listing to NewStudio's NewStats servers so the panel can show statistics and track how the channel changes over time.

These requests are made without your Google sign-in. NewStats never receives your YouTube password, session cookies, or authorization headers, and it does not read private analytics, revenue, or anything else that is not visible to any visitor of the channel page. Only channels you open the panel for are read. You can turn NewStats off in the extension settings at any time.

You may only use NewStats to view statistics for your own research and analysis. You may not use it, or the data it shows, to extract data in bulk, to build a competing dataset or service, or in any way that violates YouTube's Terms of Service.
