Thiruvananthapuram: All social media platforms are competing to introduce new features. Google's YouTube can't stay away while Metta's WhatsApp and Instagram jump in with new features. YouTube is now shocking with the update in terms of short videos.
YouTube shorts videos can be up to three minutes long as per the new update. YouTube introduced the new policy on October 15, 2024. This will help YouTubers to tell highly engaging stories. Up to three minutes long video can be uploaded in vertical and square aspect ratio. YouTube's revenue-sharing model will also consider new shorts videos. But previously uploaded files up to three minutes in length will remain in the long-form video category. These will be considered for revenue sharing in YouTube's traditional manner.
The new change will create new opportunities for YouTubers. Videos up to three minutes long cannot currently be shot directly via the shorts camera in the YouTube mobile app. These should be uploaded through YouTube Studio which is available in mobile and desktop versions. How vloggers will take the change in YouTube shorts videos will be known in the coming days.
