News & Reviews:   YouTube Shorts

Social media is all about short videos nowadays, thanks to TikTok. With that said, other platforms like YouTube and Instagram had also quickly jumped on the bandwagon with YouTube Shorts and Reels respectively. Now, it seems like Twitter will be the latest to join the gang by rolling out a feature that offers an "ever-scrolling feed of video content".

Many people love to watch videos online, and short-form video is probably the most popular format these days. Besides the highly popular TikTok, YouTube Shorts has also gained a substantial userbase of about 1.5 billion users. As such, it makes sense to add a new feature to help make Shorts.

Google is reportedly testing ads on YouTube Shorts as a another way to help creators monetise their videos. For now, the ads on Shorts will include products like App Install and video action campaigns.

If you are like to post short videos, you probably use either TikTok or YouTube Shorts. The latter isn't as popular in Malaysia but is working hard to catch up in terms of functionality. This time around, sources have spotted a new feature that might come soon.

If you are part of the BTS Army and love dancing, you now have a chance to "dance" with BTS on YouTube. This Permission to Dance Challenge will be held exclusively on YouTube Shorts starting this Friday, 23 July until 14 August 2021. 

Remember YouTube Shorts? YouTube has gradually rolled out its version of short-video format to many countries this year, so you've probably seen some Shorts on the platform. But for Malaysians who want to create these shorts yourselves, now you can!

If you're a content creator, you may have heard of YouTube Shorts, a new short-form video feature. Well, YouTube wants to convince content creators to get on the beta and use the feature. So it has come up with a simple motivator - money.

As short-form videos became popular thanks to TikTok, other companies have been looking to copy the concept. In fact, Google launched the YouTube Shorts beta in India last year. But the initial beta tests are over and the company is officially launching the new feature.

As many of you already know, TikTok is already banned in India alongside other over 100 mobile apps. From a business point of view, this is a big loss as India used to be one of the largest markets for TikTok. If there's no TikTok substitute, where do the Indian user turn to? Introducing YouTube Shorts. 

YouTube has been around for a long time and has long dominated the video content market. But when TikTok showed up, it changed the dynamics of the game and people started to flock to the platform. Well, it looks like YouTube is ready to take the fight to TikTok with the creation of its version of short-form videos called Shorts.
