- Friends, people of the internet,
we got some big news regarding YouTube Shorts.
This is Todd Beaupre,
the director at YouTube responsible for many things
including the algorithms that help viewers find
and discover videos.
- So I'm really focused on helping each viewer
open up the YouTube app
and find a video that they're just gonna love watching.
- A few months ago,
he shared how the YouTube algorithm was broken,
resulting in creators getting a ton of views
and subscribers on their shorts
that didn't cross over to their long form videos.
YouTubers everywhere were pissed,
but Todd and his team have been working
and just put out three exciting updates
that's going to make you extremely excited.
I don't know if this is extra,
but we are gonna boost up the audio quality
so you can hear these updates loud and clear.
Hey, what's up friends?
My name is Judah Lee.
I am here from the TubeBuddy team to deliver
this news to you.
Behind me are my two cute, wonderful dogs.
This is Kobe, say hi Kobe.
Hi y'all, how y'all doing?
And this is Sydney, y'all know Sydney.
She's everywhere.
But let's not waste any more time.
If you like this video, smash the like button,
hit subscribe so you can join the family.
And let's begin.
Update number one,
a few weeks ago we shared this video and in it,
we talked about how the bridge
between long-form videos and short-form videos was broken.
That video is kind of out of date now
because the bridge has been rebuilt.
Todd just shared a delicious little tweet stating
"today, the first lane of the bridge has opened.
Recommendations now consider recent long-form videos
from the channel that viewer watches in Shorts.
More to come".
So this news right here means that
if you are a hybrid creator,
you're posting long-form videos over there,
short-form videos over there.
If you post a YouTube Short that does particularly well,
meaning it gets you a lot of views and subscribers,
that new audience will start being recommended
your long-form videos,
which is what we've been wanting this entire time.
And it's here, baby.
Update number two.
Yes, yes, we are absolutely flying right now.
In that same tweet,
somebody asked if there were plans
for creating a separate tab on the channel for Shorts.
Which Todd responded to saying "yes, coming soon."
Todd does not sound like any of these impressions.
Sorry Todd, if you're watching this video, Todd, I love you.
Which makes this user generated mockup
look a little bit more like the reality that's coming,
with the little shorts tab
separated from the long-form content.
A cleaner interface for YouTube shorts
and long-form videos is on the way.
Update Number three.
All right, this is a little bit of older news,
just like for a few weeks old,
but if you didn't know,
well, it's pretty significant.
Starting like right now, at this very moment,
you can clip your long-form videos into
up to 60 second YouTube Shorts
that also link back to your long-form video.
Let me explain.
While on the YouTube mobile app
and on a video from your own channel,
you can select up to 60 seconds
of footage from the video to create a Short from.
And one of your watches the Short,
they'll see this little attribution that, if they click it,
will exit them from the Shorts tab
and take them to the full long-form video
that the short was clicked from,
making the connection between your long-form videos
and short-form videos
much stronger and giving your long-form videos
an extra boost, a better opportunity to get seen.
- [Narrator] Judah, why are you crying?
- Because this person was gonna leave the video
without smashing the like button and subscribing.
I am just, that's just not cute.
Like that is just such a bad fake cry.
- [Narrator] Why are you crying now?
- Because this person was gonna also leave the video
without watching this next,
which gives you three tips
on how to 10X your views on YouTube.
It's just so good, y'all.
I love you.
I'll hang out with you in the comments below,
and until next time, keep creating.
