Right from the start, YouTube has to do with videos. Now, for a video to qualify as a YouTube Short, it should be less than one minute. And also, it needs to be in vertical mode.

This new change in content type has so much caused confusion as many ask questions in order to get a clear understanding. Exactly why, in this tutorial, I’m going to guide you on how to create, upload and examine YouTube Shorts on your channel.

Not to worry, anyone on YouTube can make a short. Now, let’s discuss how you can create, upload, and check the performance of a YouTube Short.

Creating YouTube Shorts

At the first announcement of YouTube Shorts, the platform enabled a special Shorts camera for creators in certain areas. Indian creators could explore a multi-segment Shorts camera integrated into YouTube.

With the camera, a 15-sec video using features e.g. music slip, speed control was possible, just like on TikTok.

I really thought that you can actually make money with YT Short videos aside from your own content friend. But I guess not as you've explained it well here. I appreciate it. Thanks. All the best!
