YouTube has announced important updates to its Shorts video service. Starting October 15th, content creators will be able to upload videos up to 3 minutes long. This feature was requested by users, especially due to competition from TikTok, which allows users to upload videos of up to 10 minutes.
Here’s what we know
YouTube is also introducing a template feature that allows creators to reuse formats from other Shorts videos. This makes it easier to create trending content, but can result in boring videos. This new feature will be available through the “Remix” button on the video.
YouTube is actively promoting short videos as an alternative to TikTok, adding similar features and offering financial incentives to video creators. However, the company also recognizes that some users prefer longer videos and is introducing a “Show fewer short videos” option to temporarily reduce the number of short videos in users’ feeds. .
