YouTube empowers content creators further with new additions to Shorts, its popular short-form video platform.
Chief among the new features is the extension of Shorts to up to three minutes long — a highly requested feature among creators.
The longer format goes live starting October 15, granting users greater flexibility to express themselves and share more immersive narratives.
Other updates include:
- Streamlined player and immersive templates: The YouTube Shorts player has been refined to prioritize content, ensuring users’ work takes center stage. Additionally, the introduction of templates simplifies the creation process, letting users easily jump on the latest trends and add your unique spin.
- Seamless integration with YouTube: Users can now leverage the vast universe of YouTube content directly from the Shorts camera. From there, users can easily access seamless remixing of clips from favorite videos, music videos, and more, offering unprecedented creative possibilities.
- Enhanced community engagement: The new trends page on mobile helps users stay up to date with the latest trends, while comment previews provide a glimpse into conversations before diving in.
- A more personalized experience: To cater to individual preferences, YouTube is introducing the option to “Show fewer Shorts.” With this, users can customize your feed to prioritize long-form content or other interests.
With these welcome updates, YouTube Shorts looks to become an even more dynamic and engaging platform for both creators and fans alike.
Check these new features out on YouTube, and bookmark October 15 to start creating longer Shorts using the YouTube mobile app.
