You might soon recover your hacked YouTube accounts as the platform brings an AI assistant that can help users to get back their hacked accounts. Google claimed in its official blog that this new tool not only recovers your hacked account but also prevents the account from future threats.

Many YouTube users and creators have been facing hacking issues, where the channel name and contents were invaded. In order to deal with this YouTube has announced this new feature named ‘troubleshooting tool,’ aiming to recover hacked YouTube accounts.

Bring back your hacked account

You can get the ‘troubleshooting tool,’ which is an AI-chatbot, in the YouTube Help Centre. But how this works and helps you to restore your account. All you have to do is ask the chatbot about the way to restore these hacked accounts. The chatbot will guide you through the steps and help you to reverse any changes made in your account after restoring it.

Initially YouTube users and creators had to mail to the company for resolving their issues and restoring the hacked accounts. These usually were time consuming and  couldn’t help much. But now with the tool you can get instant and effective solutions. 

The ‘troubleshooting tool,’ is currently available only in English, with access to specific troubleshooting features. As mentioned in Google’s support page, the tool is yet to roll out publicly and is available only to some creators.The page also mentioned that if the tool doesn’t work for you, you can always reach out to @TeamYouTube on X(earlier known as Twitter) and get help from there. However, the Verge reported that they had tested the tool and found it ‘quite fine.’ 

Other updates 

It looks like YouTube has been constantly trying to include the use of artificial intelligence (AI) on its platform for upgrading its features. A few days back on August 8, YouTube announced the launch of a feature named ‘Brainstorm with Gemini’. In a video the company posted about the new feature in its Creator Insider channel.  The ‘Brainstorm with Gemini’ uses Gemini AI (an AI chatbot) to help you curate ideas and discuss ways to create new content. 

Moreover, this feature can help content creators to get new prompts on trending ideas. The tool also aims to keep a track on the choices and most searched topics of the users. It can also track the most watched videos of the users. YouTube claimed that this feature aims to help content creators get an idea of the preferred choices of their target audience, eventually bringing in more viewers.
