The Peninsula
Alphabet Inc's YouTube is rolling out a short-form video-streaming service on its platform in the United States as it looks to better compete with rival TikTok in the hugely popular category.
The service, Shorts, lets users record mobile friendly vertical videos that can be spiced up with special effects and soundtracks pulled from a music library. "Starting today and over the next several weeks, we'll gradually expand our Shorts beta to the U.S.," YouTube said in a blogpost on Thursday, adding it would weave in newer features on the service like the ability to add text at specific points of the video.More Related News
