YouTube Launches 'Shorts Series' Feature for Episodic Short-Form Content
The new tool, announced as part of Made On YouTube, lets creators publish short videos as ongoing episodic series.
YouTube has introduced a new "Shorts series" feature that brings episodic viewing to its short-form video format, according to TechCrunch.
The feature was announced as part of a broader set of Made On YouTube announcements, which TechCrunch reported are designed to help creators grow their channels and engage audiences more effectively through the platform's short-form offering, Shorts.
Part of a wider set of creator tools
The Shorts series feature allows creators to group related short videos together as an ongoing series, giving viewers a way to follow episodic content in the same short-form format that has become popular on YouTube and competing platforms. TechCrunch's report did not detail the specific rollout timeline for the feature or which creators would gain access first.
The announcement is part of YouTube's continued push to expand its Shorts product, as the company competes with other short-video platforms for creator and viewer attention. Additional tools unveiled alongside the series feature were described by TechCrunch as aimed broadly at helping creators grow and engage their audiences, though specifics beyond the series functionality were not detailed in the available report.
