YouTube is going after TikTok with this new feature; here are the details

In a bid to give a tough competition to TikTok, YouTube is testing a new feature on its app that will allow users to upload short video clips on the platform. So far, the feature is not available for all and is being tested with a few users after which the mass roll out of the feature is expected. Two months ago, similar reports of YouTube planning the launch of a TikTok like feature had come in the media according to which the new feature could be named “YouTube Shorts”.

The new feature will allow the users of the app to record multiple short clips directly on the app and upload the same as one video. If the video is less than 15 seconds, then it can be directly uploaded on the app without going to the mobile gallery. However, if the user has a video longer than 15 seconds then it will need to be uploaded from the gallery of the phone.
