What are YouTube Shorts?
YouTube Shorts are short-form videos that can be up to 60 seconds long. They are designed to be easy to create and consume, and are often used to showcase a quick moment or highlight.
- Shorts are vertical videos that can be recorded and uploaded directly from the YouTube mobile app.
- They appear in a dedicated section on the YouTube homepage and can also be discovered through search.
Does YouTube Automatically Upload as Shorts?
No, YouTube does not automatically upload videos as Shorts. To upload a video as a Short, you need to specifically create and upload it through the YouTube mobile app, selecting the 'Shorts' option.
However, if you have a longer video and want to create a Short from it, you can use the 'Trim' feature in the YouTube studio to create a shorter version of your video.
