YouTube has introduced a new policy for its YouTube Partner Program. The policy cuts down the number of watch hours and subscribers needed by creators in select countries to join the program.

YouTube Stories launched in 2017 under the name Reels and were supposed to compete with Instagram and Snapchat with videos that would disappear after seven days. Now they are going away for good.

With a new year approaching, YouTube shared a list of top trending content on the platform as a yearly recap. These included top creators, videos, and songs streamed on YouTube for the year 2022.

To remove hassles related to switching to a different category from the Videos tab on YouTube, the video-sharing service is rolling out separate tabs for Shorts, live streams, and long-form videos.

Google has confirmed that it has started experimenting with app-install ads and other promotions on YouTube Shorts. It will likely introduce new monetization options for creators in the future.

YouTube is doling out $100 million in funding to Shorts creators over the period 2021-2022. The funding is open to everyone, although your videos must have high engagement and number of views.

Wildly popular video streaming platform YouTube launched a miniature video sharing feature called Shorts in India last year in September. Today YouTube brought the feature in beta to the U.S.

YouTube today formally announced its TikTok rival called Shorts. An early version of Shorts is being rolled out in India and it will allow users to upload videos that are up to 15s long.

YouTube is working on its own TikTok rival called "Shorts." The feature will be released by the end of this year inside the existing YouTube mobile app where it will be displayed in a new feed.
