YouTube is revamping Shorts with exciting new length options and more features

YouTube has unveiled major updates and new features for its Shorts!

The company announced Thursday that YouTubers can now create YouTube shorts that last up to three minutes.

The company emphasized that this is one of the most requested features by developers.

This update is part of a larger set of features that include templates, the ability to combine existing YouTube videos into Shorts, an AI-powered video generation model, and new ways to find trending content on the platform.

The new template feature allows creators to keep up with trends by creating familiar content.

While Shorts creators can also use clips from YouTube videos in their own content.

In a blog post, YouTube announced that the three-minute Shorts feature will be available starting October 15.

Please note that this update applies to videos in square or vertical format, but does not affect existing shorts.
