New Delhi | 15 October: YouTube Shorts is set to introduce 3-minute videos from October 15, 2024, offering creators more flexibility and engagement opportunities.
In Short
- YouTube will now allow users to put 3-minute long videos as Shorts
- Previously, YouTube Shorts focused on quick, snappy videos that were usually under a minute.
- Another update that will be rolled out in the coming months is the integration of more YouTube content into Shorts
YouTube is making a big update to its Shorts platform, allowing creators to upload videos up to 3 minutes long, starting on October 15, 2024. This change is a response to requests from creators who want more room to tell stories and engage with their audience, moving beyond the original 60-second limit.
Previously, YouTube Shorts was all about quick, under-a-minute clips, similar to TikTok and Instagram Reels. But with this new 3-minute limit, creators now have more flexibility to develop their content. The update won’t affect existing Shorts, and YouTube is also working on improving its recommendation system to better highlight these longer videos for viewers.
In addition to the longer video length, YouTube is introducing several new features to make content creation more fun and engaging. One exciting tool is the ability to use templates. This feature allows users to easily remix and recreate trending videos by tapping the “Remix” button on a Short and selecting “Use this template.” This makes it easier for creators to hop on trends and add their personal touch to popular content.
Another update that will be rolled out in the coming months is the integration of more YouTube content into Shorts. Creators will soon be able to use clips from various YouTube videos, including music videos, to create their Shorts. This feature will allow for even more creativity and connection with the broader YouTube universe. Moreover, Google DeepMind’s advanced video model, Veo, will also be integrated into Shorts later this year, offering creators more powerful video backgrounds and standalone clips.
For fans and viewers, YouTube is launching a new “Shorts trends” page to help users keep up with the latest viral content. Additionally, users will be able to get a preview of what people are saying in the comments directly from the Shorts feed, enhancing engagement with the community.
These updates aim to make YouTube Shorts a more immersive and customizable experience for both creators and viewers, offering new ways to express creativity and engage with the platform.
