YouTube is introducing its short video making video section ‘Youtube Shorts’ for TV. The company has announced that the shorts are being rolled out globally. YouTube states that the company’s updated Smart TV app will now allow users to watch popular vertical videos in an optimized experience, designed to better match what users watch on a mobile device as well as on a TV.
YouTube says users must have a 2019 or later smart TV, new gaming console or streaming device for the new feature to watch shorts on TV. Users will be able to play these short videos from the new Shorts shelf on the homepage of the YouTube app or on a creator’s channel page.

To begin with, users can like or dislike short videos from creators on TV itself, and can also interact with creators by subscribing to their channels by reading the title and description of these videos. But it is learned that the company is planning to introduce more community features over time.
Video has to be changed manually
YouTube said that it also found an unusual behavior with the experience of watching short-form videos on TV. People wanted to manually skip to the next short video instead of feed autoplay, which is usually the case with TVs. Hence, the app now allows users to start or stop the video by directly clicking on the short video, or by using the play/pause button on the remote.

The video will continue to play on a loop until the user manually skips to the next video. The up and down buttons on the remote can be used to go to the next video or go back to the previous video.
Youtube Shorts was first introduced in India in September 2020. The company claims that it is currently viewed by more than 1.5 billion logged-in users in more than 100 countries each month and has more than 30 billion views per day.
