Many tech companies racked their brains when they saw the success of TikTok, a Chinese platform for sharing short videos. Although the content on TiokTok has never been professional level, the furious pace of development of TikTok has caught the attention of all the tech giants like Facebook. YouTube has also come on board with YouTube Shorts, a service that lets you share short XNUMX-second videos. The feature has been incorporated in a few other parts of the world, but has now arrived in the UAE and the rest of the Middle East in beta.
(Image credit: YouTube) YouTube Shorts comes with a new camera and a set of tools to quickly edit your video and make it worth sharing. In addition to this, users will be able to use popular songs from YouTube's vast library in these videos. The feature is currently being incorporated in the UAE into the Android and also iOS versions of the YouTube app.
How to create and share videos on YouTube Shorts?
YouTube wants to make sure that users can easily create and share content. To create a YouTube Shorts video, you do not need to download any helper applications. When you open the YouTube app on your phone, you will find that the creation option has been moved to the bottom of the screen. Touch the (+) icon in the center of this bar, then "Video" and finally choose "Create a short video". Since updates are rolled out in stages, you may have to wait if the option doesn't automatically start appearing in the YouTube app. YouTube stated that more features will be added in the future.
