- Google has announced a slew of new features for YouTube Shorts.
- At least two of these features were taken from Instagram and TikTok.
- The company is also letting users more easily convert their landscape clips to Shorts.
YouTube followed the short vertical video trend by introducing Shorts back in 2020. Now, the company is grabbing a couple of features from Instagram Reels and TikTok for its Shorts.
YouTube announced six new Shorts-focused additions yesterday, starting with the “Collab” ability to record a Short in a side-by-side layout with an existing YouTube clip. It goes without saying that Instagram and TikTok have offered this feature for a while.
