YouTube Shorts are short-form, vertical videos – similar to Stories – that are created using a smartphone and uploaded directly to YouTube. With over 50 billion views per day and 1.5 billion logged-in users per month, YouTube Shorts allows for a simple and accessible way to engage with your audience. Using YouTube’s built-in creation tools, you can capture, edit, and add music! 

Short-form content is everywhere! Shorts are searchable by tapping Shorts at the bottom of the YouTube app, discovery on the YouTube Homepage, through notifications and subscriptions, and of course, through the Shorts tab on a YouTube channel. Connect with your audience through YouTube Shorts and continue reading for more tips on creating and enhancing your Shorts.

How To Create Content On Shorts

Desktop

  • On your desktop, sign into YouTube Studio and in the top right corner, click create and then upload files up to 60 seconds long. 
  • Make sure to include #Shorts in the title or description to help YouTube recommend your videos across the platform. 
  • You can edit up to 15 clips at a time, but be sure to edit the draft to complete the video details. 

Mobile

  • On your mobile device, open the YouTube app and tap create
  • To record a clip, hold capture or tap it to start recording and then again to stop. 
  • Tap Undo to remove the previous video clip, or tap Redo to add it back. 
  • Tap Done to preview and enhance the video.

How To Enhance Your Shorts

  • Add text over your video and change the color, style, and alignment on the screen. 
  • Tap Timeline to edit when text is shown in your Short. Drag the start and stop points of a text clip to control when text shows in your short and when it disappears.

  2. My testimony on how I became a member of the Illuminati. I want to know people who want to join the great Illuminati as a great member of the Illuminati who want me as a great member. His name is Lord Felix Morgan. Help me get my life back from the death stage. Discharged after about 2 years and six months. After being betrayed by so many members of the Illuminati. Over the years I was hopeless and financially on the ground. But one day while browsing the internet, I came across the post by Great Member of the Illuminati Lord Felix Morgan and said that if you were one of the great Illuminati members, you can be famous, rich and successful in life. I contacted him and I explained everything to him and he recommended the registration used and I paid for the big member to get me started and I was initiated into the World Order of the Illuminati. After that, they gave me all the guidelines and let me know that after initiation new members will be rewarded with the sum of $1,000,000 in cash. With the help of Lord Felix Morgan. I was fully initiated as a full member of the Illuminati. If your advice is that you’ve tried a scammer before or are, it’s up to me to help you join in so try Lord Morgan. It’s your best chance to become what you want in your future life. Contact him by WhatsApp +2348055459757 or email: Illuminatiofficial565@gmail.com
