YouTube Shorts Expands to Web and Tablets, Creators Can Now Remix YouTube Videos


Google announced the addition of new YouTube of these features via a blog post. In the latest update, the Shorts player will be available to users on more devices, including desktops and tablets, as well as mobile browsers. Like in the YouTube app, users will see a Shorts shelf on the Home page and a Shorts tab. They will be able to swipe vertically from one video to the next to discover more content, similar to TikTok's feed. All views coming from these new surfaces count toward the creator's eligibility for the Shorts Fund, said the company. 

YouTube will now let users remix 1-5 second video segments from eligible long-form videos and Shorts in the creation of new original Shorts content. This works similar to TikTok's Stitch functionality. To use the new remix feature, you can tap the Create button, then select Cut from the remix options. From there, users will be able to sample a video segment from any video. From a Short, you can click the three-dot menu and select Cut to choose the desired segment.
