All the details of YouTube’s new feature
This new YouTube video linking feature is expected to arrive on the platform by the end of September 2023. Executives at the popular content creation platform have revealed their plans to introduce this new feature by the end of next month.
How the new YouTube feature will work
This is a rather simple but very useful feature. Thanks to the YouTube Studio feature, content creators will be able to link any long video to a short one. Let’s remember that with the advent of TikTok, people increasingly want to consume shorter videos. That’s why, for many YouTube creators, short videos are the most popular. So, without a doubt, this new feature of the platform will be very useful for them.
According to the information published in YouTube’s most recent blog post, the new feature “helps creators direct their audience from Shorts to other types of content, such as long-form videos.”
In addition, they’ve reported that the entire development team is working to create more secure methods for content creators to link all of their videos. And as mentioned before, the new feature is expected to be available soon. Finally, on YouTube’s blog, they state that with this new feature, they hope to help all content creators bring a much wider audience to their long-form videos.
Long-form videos
Currently, creating long-form videos can be challenging. Remember that content creators must invest a lot of time to record, edit, and publish all the content. This process can take a few days. These long videos are often not as successful as short videos, which can frustrate content creators. However, with this new feature, content creators can direct a larger audience to their main long-form video content.
