Many creators have been asking for this change, and now YouTube is finally making it happen. Google mentioned that it is the top-requested feature by creators. With the 3-minute time limit, creators can include more details in Shorts.
It is worth mentioning that the new length will apply to videos that are square or taller in the aspect ratio to keep the Shorts format easy to view and engaging. Any Shorts uploaded before October 15 will remain the same and won’t be affected by this update.
Aside from this, YouTube is also changing the look of the Shorts player to make it cleaner and easier to use. The buttons will have a simple outline instead of color-filled ones and there will be a single line for descriptions.
Viewers will soon be able to see what others are saying about a video as comments will soon be visible directly in the Shorts player. YouTube will soon provide ” Show fewer Shorts ” options on the Home feed.
There’s more for creators as soon they can easily remix clips from various YouTube videos right in the Shorts camera. They’ll also be able to use templates to match trends and add their personal touch. Overall, Google hopes to make YouTube Shorts more user-friendly, easy to use, and engaging.
