Exciting news for creators! Starting October 15, YouTube Shorts will let you create videos up to 3 minutes long, a highly anticipated feature! This update unlocks new storytelling possibilities, allowing you to engage your audience with more in-depth content.
This update won’t impact YouTube Shorts uploaded before the 15th and applies only to square or taller videos. YouTube will also improve recommendations for longer Shorts in the coming months to help your content reach the right audience. Get ready to take your Shorts to the next level!
YouTube is rolling out some fantastic new features for Shorts that are sure to enhance your creative experience! One of the most exciting additions is the introduction of templates. Now, when you find a Short you love, simply tap on “Remix” and select “Use this template” to get started. This makes it easier than ever to create your own content while leveraging the creativity of others.
But that’s not all—coming soon, you’ll also have the ability to remix clips from your favorite YouTube videos, even pulling together multiple clips from across the platform. This opens up a world of possibilities for crafting unique and engaging Shorts!
To keep you in the loop with the latest trends, YouTube is launching a new Shorts Trends page on mobile. Plus, you’ll soon be able to preview what people are saying in the comments right within the Shorts feed, making it easier to engage with the community.
And for those who aren’t fans of Shorts, there’s good news too! YouTube will soon provide an option to see fewer Shorts in your feed. Just tap the three dots in the upper right corner of any Shorts grid on your Home feed to adjust your preferences. While this change only temporarily reduces the number of Shorts you see, it’s a step in the right direction for those looking for a more tailored viewing experience.
So, whether you’re a die-hard Shorts creator or prefer to keep your distance, these updates are designed to enhance your experience on YouTube!
