Other updates to the video sharing platform’s Shorts feature include having an improved player and the introduction of templates.
“The YouTube Shorts player has been refined to prioritize content, ensuring your work takes center stage. Additionally, the introduction of templates simplifies the creation process, letting you easily jump on the latest trends and add your unique spin,” it said.
