Discover

The Discover panel is a YouTube research tool. Search for videos, analyze channels, estimate earnings, and save inspiring content as ideas. Open it from the Studio sidebar → Discover.

Layout

• Left — filter rail. Search input at the top, then stacked filter sections (Sort by / Duration / Date / Channel size cap / Outlier / Topic tags) and a Filter loop status card at the bottom that shows how many videos are currently kept.
• Main — results area. Channel strip (when applicable) and the progressively-loaded video grid. Infinite scroll pulls more results when you approach the bottom.

Searching

Type in the Search box in the left rail and hit Enter (or click the button beneath it). Results load in batches — scroll down to fetch more. Your channel's Topic tags show up as pill-buttons in the rail so you can jump straight to relevant queries.

No setup needed

Basic search works out of the box. Adding a YouTube key (Profile → API keys) unlocks subscriber-cap and outlier filters plus channel comparison.

Filters

All filters re-run the search as soon as they change.

Filter	Options	What it does
Sort by	Relevance / Most viewed / Newest	Result ordering
Duration	Any / < 4 min (Shorts) / 4–20 min / 20+ min	Video length
Date	Any time / Past week / Past month / Past year	Recency
Channel size cap	Any / < 1M / < 100K / < 10K / < 1K	Subscriber cap — requires a YouTube key
Outlier	Any / ≥ 5× / ≥ 10× / ≥ 50×	Videos with views well above the channel's average — requires a YouTube key
Topic tags	Pill-buttons from your channel config	One-click topical searches

Filter loop

Because tight filters (e.g. 10× outliers + <10K subs) can eliminate most of any given batch, Discover searches progressively wider — up to ~6000 raw results — to surface matches. The Filter loop card at the bottom of the left rail shows live status (142 kept, exhausted, searching…) so you can tell whether to wait or loosen a filter.

Channel deep dive

Click a channel name (accent link) on any video card to open the deep dive. The main column switches to channel-focused view.

Inspire

Every video card has an Inspire button. It creates an idea with:

The idea appears immediately in the Ideas panel, tagged ⊕ Discover with the view count visible in the list's source column.
