YouTube’s short-video platform is now official, called YouTube Shorts

After Facebook, YouTube is trying to take advantage of the void left by TikTok in the short-video space. The company today announced that the rumoured YouTube Shorts feature will launch in India in the “next few days”. YouTube says the feature is a beta at the moment.

The platform will allow users to post 15-second videos and given that YouTube is the leading video platform on the Internet, creators should flock to it. The platform is adding a “create” on the YouTube app, emulating competitors like TikTok and others. The feature will come to iOS devices too, soon.
