YouTube channels will soon have a dedicated ‘Shorts’ and ‘Live’ tab

Back in September 2020, YouTube introduced ‘Shorts’ for those interested in watching short videos. Recently, YouTube rolled out an update that introduced new features like pinch to zoom and video navigation and redesigned the Android and iOS apps.

Now, in a blog post, YouTube announced that based on user feedback they are introducing separate tabs for Shorts, Live Streams and Videos on the Channel page. The company says the change will make it ‘easier for viewers to discover the kinds of content they’re most interested in when exploring a creator’s channel page’.

While the Videos tab will now house long-form videos only, the Shorts tab will have only shorts whereas the Live tab will show past, current and upcoming live streams.
