No time to edit a full-length video?
Even without the time to plan and edit a long video, you can put together a short, high-impact vertical clip with just a phone and share it quickly.
Keep an eye on how your Shorts perform
Once a Short is live, checking view counts and audience retention in your channel's analytics dashboard tells you which topics, hooks, or lengths are actually resonating, so you can adjust your next one accordingly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is a Short different from a regular video?
A video with a vertical (9:16) aspect ratio and a run time of three minutes or less is automatically classified as a Short and surfaced in the dedicated Shorts feed.
Can I upload a video I already edited on a computer?
Yes -- as long as it is vertical and meets the length requirement, uploading it through the regular upload flow will still have it recognized as a Short.
