YouTube is now used by almost everyone in the world. Especially shorts are seen the most. After TikTok started the trend of short videos, now the feature of vertical short videos is present on every social media platform. But different platforms are now changing the format of these short videos in their own way. According to YouTube's latest announcement, shorts on YouTube will no longer be 60 seconds long. Users can upload videos up to 3 minutes long to YouTube Shorts.

According to the announcement made by YouTube, users were demanding such a feature for a long time. Keeping this in mind, the company has announced a new feature. Due to this feature, users will also be able to use videos made for other platforms in YouTube Shorts. Because only in 2021, the 3-minute video format was launched by TikTok. Now videos up to 10 minutes long can be uploaded on TikTok. Whereas the time limit for vertical videos on Instagram is 90 seconds.

When TikTok announced the 10-minute video feature, it was seen as TikTok's entry into the longer video format. Because TikTok is very popular all over the world. TikTok's long videos can compete with YouTube videos. Perhaps to meet the same competition, YouTube is now following TikTok's lead, and has set a 3-minute time limit on shorts. Looks like both social media platforms are competing with each other

Along with the rollout of the Long Shorts feature, YouTube has also announced features like Trends page, Show More Shorts in the mobile app. While the template feature will allow users to create their own shorts directly using current trends. This type of template feature was launched by Instagram Reels last year. To use this feature, you need to select Remix in the Shorts theme you want to use and then click Use this template. This feature also lets you reuse clips from other shorts or YouTube videos from within the app. Also, if you want to change the way shorts are displayed, you can customize it using the Show less shorts feature.
