The 3-minute duration will be available for videos that have a square or vertical aspect ratio.
The platform is also introducing the “Show fewer short videos” option: users will be able to select this in the settings and will temporarily see fewer short videos.
It is also noted that YouTube Shorts recently updated the player to optimize its appearance, allowing creators' content to take center stage and viewers to focus on the content they like.
Recall
YouTube will not recommend videos about ideal physical fitness and weight to teenagers aged 13-17. The platform will also restrict access to content with “social aggression,” including fighting and intimidation.
