I definitely found the channel analytics feature of YouTube Studio very useful. It gives an insight into videos performance and how many views, watch time they are getting.

Since the bottom part of YouTube Studio on the left-hand side is sticky, it is little difficult to navigate to channel analytics. This is frustrating, compared to the old interface. I am sure that this will change with audience requests.

In the Creator Studio Classic version it was very easy to find keywords for which the YouTube video is ranking. This helps to know your youtube channel keywords for which you are getting traffic. I didn’t find this feature in the 2020 interface of YouTube Studio.

If anybody knows how to find it, please let me know in the comments.
