Since 15th October 2024, <strong>any video up to 3 minutes or within gets uploaded as YouTube shorts.<\/strong> No, that doesn&#8217;t mean you can create shorts of up to 3 minutes. Any video that stays within 3 minutes will automatically be uploaded as a YouTube short.<\/p>\n<p>But this update is for all the upcoming video content, not the existing ones. So does it mean that your old videos that are up to 3 minutes and uploaded in the long form remain the same? Yes! You are right. You can select the custom frame for your video just like you can for shorts as a thumbnail.<\/p>\n<p>After YouTube sponsored content tags, let&#8217;s understand the <strong>YouTube custom <\/strong><span style=\"text-transform: initial;\"><strong>badge update.<\/strong> YouTube is testing the ability to upload custom membership badges to Studio mobile and desktop. However, you won&#8217;t be able to power up this update if you aren&#8217;t a member of YPP. If you wish to get the badges and emojis to make your content stand out, you will suggest you to <a href=\"https:\/\/veefly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">promote video on YouTube.\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Doing so can help you achieve the adequate number of subscribers and views you need to be a member of YPP. You can also directly <a href=\"https:\/\/veefly.com\/buy-youtube-views\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">buy YouTube views<\/a> from the services you are connected with.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve spotted creators doing paid promotions on platforms like Instagram, where they collaborate with brands and tag them in posts, YouTube&#8217;s new feature, <strong>&#8220;Paid product placements,&#8221;<\/strong> is the same! It allows creators to tag their videos as sponsored content when uploading.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, we have<strong> YouTube&#8217;s drafting feature,<\/strong> which resonates with Instagram drafts again. YouTube now makes it easier for creators to manage their drafts! Unlike before, creators can access, resume, and delete any draft whenever they want. Plus, they can work on multiple drafts at once. They don&#8217;t need to finish one before starting another. This is for both Android and iOS users.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>These powerful new updates from YouTube are designed with creators like you in mind. They will make your workflow smoother, faster, and more productive than ever! Channel membership badges, YouTube-sponsored content tags, a draft feature for Shorts, and the ability to extend Shorts\u2019 durations may not seem prominent. Still, they can greatly improve your experience as a YouTuber.<\/p>\n<p>Now that you can draft your shorts like IG reels on the platform, you get a lot of time to create a compelling title and description for your content. Use tools like an<a href=\"https:\/\/veefly.com\/youtube-title-generator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> AI title generator for YouTube<\/a> shorts to attract more clicks on the shorts.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, if you want viewers to watch your long-form videos until the end, using a tool like an <a href=\"https:\/\/veefly.com\/youtube-description-generator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AI YouTube description generator<\/a> can be helpful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simple yet significant updates coming your way
