YouTube Shorts Takes On TikTok
YouTube has announced that it is launching Shorts. A new feature that is extremely similar to TikTok.
Google’s entry to short-form video content is starting with YouTube Shorts, which is a new feature that is being tested in limited markets, the first of which is launching in India and is described as:
“Shorts is a new short-form video experience for creators and artists who want to shoot short, catchy videos using nothing but their mobile phones.“
YouTube Shorts offers the following features to video creators:
- Create and upload videos of 15-seconds or less
- Edit videos with a number of creative tools
- Stitch shorter clips together with a multi-segment camera
- Add music to videos from YouTube’s library
- Speed up or slow down videos
- Timers and countdowns
As mentioned above, this will currently only be available in India at the moment while in Beta, and will also only be available via the YouTube App for Android devices. However, there are plans to expand this to iOS devices soon, and YouTube will be expanding the features overtime.
So watch this space YouTubers and TikTokers ;-)

Sounds a lot like Tik Tok but Tik Tok allows videos to be up to 1 minute.
I wonder if Shorts will be just as hard to rank as regular YouTube. Tik Toc is wide open wild wild west right now. Not that hard to get a lot of views and followers if you do it right. How long that window of opportunity will remain open is anybody's guess. They are where Facebook and Instagram were at their beginnings
Very true and it's more than likely come from the announcement that TikTok would rather close their app down than sell it to a US company. Interesting times ahead :-)

I love it, I am a YouTuber, and a TikToker but I will be watching this space, I think it would make things easier for Youtubers, I think its easy to create short videos than creating the long ones, I just don't know how we will be able to monetize the short videos 🤔🤔
Exactly why I'm watching closely ;-)
