YouTube recently expanded the duration of short videos
to 3 minutes, added templates, AI Tools, and more options to show fever shorts
on the homepage. Along with this update, YouTube is adding a Shorts trends page
and comment previews which has been needed for so long.
This update will be rolled out in the upcoming months.
The organization states it will work on improving the recommendations for these
longer shorts over time. This news has followed many rumors on the internet
today. But the thing is that this information is very helpful for the YouTubers
who have the main focus on long-lasting videos.
New Features:-
There are many new tools which are being introduced, one
of them are given below:-
- AI Integration: YouTube will
incorporate Google Deepmind's VEO model for artificial intelligence-generated
video backgrounds and clips.
- Templates: Users can now remix the most trending and
popular shorts using a new template feature.
- Enhanced Remixing: YouTube plans to allow the
creators to remix and access clips from across its platform within the shorts
camera which may help them to make the shorts in a very easy way.
Updates On
User Experience:-
YouTube is also implementing changes to the engagement
of users
A. Comment Previews: Users can now see the comment
previews in the shorts feed which was the most awaited feature.
B. Trends Page: The new mobile page will now show the
trending shorts by country which may help creators to create updated and
trending videos.
C. Feed Customization: An option to "show fewer
shorts" is added to the feed at home. Which helps any user to show less
shorts and focus on long-length videos.
These updates come on YouTube to compete with other
platforms like instagram Reels and TikTok in the short video market. The
extended video length could potentially blur the lines between the traditional
content and the short form of video content on the platform.
The Director of Product Management of YouTube Mr. Todd
Sherman said that this 3-minute extension was a top requested feature by many
creators and demanding things these days.
