YouTube Shorts is an app by Google that allows users to create, share, and view short-form videos of 15-60 seconds in length that stay available for seven days. Recent statistics show that 75% of adults in the US spend as much as two hours daily watching short-form videos on a variety of platforms, and the YouTube Shorts app has taken hold of this trend. Recently YouTube Shorts surpassed 15 billion views daily.
YouTube Shorts are similar to Instagram Reels and TikTok Stories except YouTube Shorts do not expire.
