YouTube Copies TikTok Feature with 15-Second Video

Youtube just announced that they are about to test a new tool for some YouTubers to experiment with short-form video.

Cloning TikTok, feature with sounds and 15-seconds videos with a twist.

“We’re testing out a new way for creators to easily record multiple clips directly in the YouTube mobile app and upload as one video,” The YouTube experiments page says.

“If you’re in this experiment, you’ll see an option to ‘create a video’ in the mobile upload flow.”

The experiment sounds like a way to stitch multiple short-forms videos together into one. YouTube seems to be copying TikTok in making short-form video-editing easier on the app. Twitter had all of this back in 2014 with Vine before it shut the service down.

The process allows multiple 15-second videos to be stitched together said YouTube. It is not going to eschew longer videos but giving people the option to craft TikTok-style videos natively in the YouTube mobile app.

This feature-cloning becomes a blur at some point. Instagram’s TikTok-like ‘Reels’ feature is expanding to France and Germany after its successful trial in Brazil. After Facebook’s separate TikTok clone app ‘Lasso’ failed, the company is smartly rolling its TikTok features into Instagram.

“If you’d like to upload a longer video, you’ll still be able to do so by uploading from your phone gallery instead of recording through the app,” said YouTube. “We’re starting these experiments on mobile (both Android and iOS) with a small group of people while we gather feedback,” YouTube added.

This means, the feature only available for a few selected YouTube creators. Short-form creation is massively viral right now and no surprise if the feature will be available for everyone faster than we expected.
