YouTube Shorts are short-form vertical videos that give you endless opportunities to discover new and interesting content. Each Short is 3 minutes or less, so you’re not too far from what’s next.
The YouTube Shorts player allows you to watch and interact with a never-ending stream of videos in the Shorts Feed.
