The YouTube Liaison just shared some exciting news\u2014the full rollout of the short creation tool is here! Now, you can create <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/latest-youtube-updates\/youtube-shorts-3-minute-video-length-is-what-youtubers-need\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shorts up to 3 minutes<\/a> long. Previously, they worked on this feature in phases, and we received updates along the way. But now, it&#8217;s officially available to everyone.<\/p>\n<p>So now, if you upload clips that are under 3 minutes long, they will appear as YouTube shorts. They will seem to occur on the shorts shelf in your subscription feed on your YouTube channel page. It will also appear in the YouTube section, so you have shorts even if you did not intend to post it that way. Your shorts can also qualify to be recommended in the shorts feed, enhancing your channel&#8217;s overall performance.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube shorts currently bring 70 billion daily views, and with their rising popularity, the tool is likely to expand your YouTube channel and boost your channel&#8217;s online presence.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Use_Short_Creation_Tool_To_Craft_3_Minutes_YouTube_Shorts\"><\/span>How To Use Short Creation Tool To Craft 3 Minutes YouTube Shorts?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are willing to convert your old video, which can be up to 3 minutes long, into shorts, let me remind you that you can use the short creation tool to create fresh content. You have to follow a similar procedure to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/youtube-marketing\/how-to-create-youtube-shorts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">create YouTube shorts,<\/a> and content within 3 minutes will only be accepted.
