A new Q&A sticker, coming soon, will allow creators to ask their audience questions and get the answers right in the comments. The video sharing platform is also testing a mobile-oriented vertical live experience to find live creators directly in the Shorts feed. Viewers in the test will see previews of vertical live videos interspersed with Shorts Additionally, when someone takes advantage of the experience, they’ll be placed in a scrollable feed of other live videos.
“We’re making it easy to create on YouTube with Shorts videos whenever inspiration hits your feed with a new feature that automatically combines the audio and effect of the Shorts you’ve remixed,” the company said. In addition, in the near future During the Week, the platform will begin testing new recomposition tools that will help users more easily convert their horizontal videos into Shorts videos.
