YouTube Boosts Livestreams with Interactive Leaderboards

Meta’s Ray-Ban Glasses Help More People
Meta’s Ray-Ban AI glasses now work with the “Be My Eyes” app, letting vision-impaired users get help from volunteers through video calls, making the tech more useful.
A health influencer with vision challenges uses the glasses to read a nutrition label while shopping, with a volunteer’s help.
Sharing this story online builds trust with followers. If you’re in wellness, showing how you use this tech could make your audience feel closer to your brand.
Instagram Sparks Creativity
Instagram lets you rearrange your profile grid for a fresh look, share Spotify songs in Notes, and funds new creators through its “Drafts” project.
