On their other channel, GWR KIDS, they used to upload shorts because YouTube Shorts was popular. Before they uploaded shorts, they used to upload episodes of their other shows.
In 2021, the channel got rebranded to "Guinness World Records Kids".

===Taking down videos===
In late-July 2023, Guinness World Records began taking down and copyright striking multiple YouTube videos with the word "world record" in the title, along with their logo in the thumbnail.https://twitter.com/duckybtw/status/1684936470778314752 The first mention of it was DuckyTheGamer's video, "i carried a Fortnite Mobile WORLD RECORD HOLDER! (most solo wins in the world)", which had about 200,000 views and released 4 years ago.https://twitter.com/duckybtw/status/1684936470778314752
On July 31, 2023, LazarBeam's video, "Breaking EVERY FORTNITE WORLD RECORD" was taken down with 26 million views, along with some of Preston's videos, resulting him having two strikes.https://twitter.com/Lazarbeam/status/1686175084866838528https://twitter.com/Preston/status/1686175540699402240
On August 2, 2023, Danno released a YouTube Short, talking about the situation, mentioning a similar incident with TheFineBros copyrighting the word "REACT".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g54Lq80FyJI
This has resulted multiple YouTubers changing their thumbnails and titles removing the logo and the word "world record" to avoid getting a copyright strike.https://twitter.com/Sunaina_Glitchy/status/1686524156035366912https://twitter.com/MrNightfoxx/status/1686217367464939520
On August 8, 2023, JackSucksAtLife contacted Guinness World Records, which they responded that a bot did the strikes, and his videos were safe from the strikes as his videos are official world records by Guinness.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESiJ8Tvg7d0
==Trivia==
