Settings
Open the channel selector in the Studio sidebar section and click Channel settings. This is the single entry point regardless of which view you're currently on.
Character
Name & Description
Your character's name and personality description. The description is fed to the AI for all content generation — it shapes the tone, humor style, and voice of generated scripts and ideas.
AI Character Creator
Click Create Character to have AI generate a full personality description from a few inputs:
- Tone — e.g., sarcastic, educational, energetic
- Audience — e.g., developers, gamers, students
- Inspiration — e.g., "like if Linus Tech Tips and John Oliver had a baby"
- Quirks — e.g., "always makes food analogies", "references Lord of the Rings"
Topics
Content themes for your channel (e.g., "cloud computing", "DevOps", "terraform"). These are used as default search hints in Discover and help the AI stay on-topic.
Voice
Configure the default TTS voice for audio generation:
- Select a Service — Free voice (default), ElevenLabs, OpenAI, or the premium high-quality option
- Filter by Language and Gender
- Select a Voice
- Click Test to hear a preview
The selected voice pre-populates when creating new audio projects.
Niche
Drives Discover's default search query and the RPM used to estimate earnings. Pick a preset (Gaming, Tech, Finance, Education, Entertainment, How-To, News, Lifestyle, Health, Food, Travel, Kids, Beauty) or Other (custom) for niches the presets don't cover.
When you select Other:
- Custom niche label — what your channel covers (e.g. "Underwater archaeology"). Used as the channel's content focus and shown in the UI.
- Discover prompts — comma-separated keywords (e.g.
shipwrecks, submerged ruins, scuba archaeology). Seed Discover's default search query the same way preset keyword sets do.
Custom niches default to $4/1k views (the platform-wide default). Preset RPMs are static averages — actual earnings vary by geography and seasonality. Adjust by switching to a different preset that better matches your real YouTube CPM.
AI Context
The AI Context editor manages the context document used when the AI processes requests:
- Character mode — auto-generated from your character name, description, topics, and style rules
- Raw mode — fully custom instructions
Click Regenerate from Character to rebuild from your current settings, or edit manually and Save.
Color schemes
Open the Profile menu at the bottom of the sidebar, then Theme & colors to choose from 7 color schemes:
- Classic — teal accent (default)
- Purple — violet accent with purple-tinted surfaces
- Blue — blue accent
- Amber — warm amber accent
- Rose — rose/pink accent
- Liquid Gold — golden amber accent
- Otter — warm brown with kelp-green accents
Dark/light mode toggle is available inside the same palette popup.
