YouTube is expanding its bite-sized video feature Shorts to television screens around the world, according to a blog post published on November 8.
“We simplified the design of the right side rail, but we hope to add more functionality in future releases.” “We believe that this experience balances the fun and quirkiness of Shorts in a way that feels natural for television,” the company added. This feature will be available in the coming weeks for smart televisions, game consoles, and streaming devices manufactured in 2019 or later. In order to tap into the creator economy, YouTube launched Shorts in India in 2020.
