YouTube Adopts Many New Features From TikTok For Shorts, Can Make Collaborative Videos Loh!

JAKARTA - YouTube is back with many new features for Shorts, including features that its competitor TikTok has long owned.

On TikTok, it has a Duet feature where users can create videos side by side with other videos.

While the features that Shorts has, are Collaborations where creators can choose from several layout options to join easily using split screen formats.

Just press Remix and then Collaborate to remix eligible Shorts videos or YouTube. The new Answer Tanya sticker will also be launched on YouTube soon so that users can ask the audience a question and get a direct response in the comments.

In addition, YouTube now makes it easier for Shorts creators to create content whenever inspiration appears on their feed with new features.

This feature can combine audio and the effects of a remix creator Shorts automatically. Click the Remix button and select use voice.

Then, YouTube will automatically display the same audio time stamp from the recently watched Shorts video, and the same effect as a fabrication suggestion.

Creators can also mix and match to create themselves. Recently, YouTube also introduced the option to save Shorts into a live playlist, so that anyone can select short videos they like to playlist directly from the Shorts feed.

Once again, YouTube is also bringing full screen features like TikTok. The company says it is testing the experience of vertical live streaming on mobile devices, so live creators can be found directly on the Shorts feed.

Spectators in the test will preview vertical live videos combined into the Shorts feed. Live videos will be placed on feed that can be scrolled from other videos.

"While nothing has changed in the way creators are doing live streaming right now, we are introducing this new full-screen experience to viewers in stages, over the coming months," YouTube said, quoted from its official website, Wednesday, August 2.

Lastly, in the next few weeks, YouTube said it would start testing new recomposition tools that help creators turn horizontal videos into Shorts videos more easily.

After selecting the video to be remixed, the creator can adjust the layout, zoom, and cut the video segment.

Divided screen effects will also be available, so creators can maintain important parts of the long content to make Shorts videos more interesting.
