YouTube Channel Page Improvements (Including Shorts, Video, and Live Tabs)!
It's lot more organised now that YouTube has divided content into three categories: Videos, Shorts, and Live Streams. All of the content in Videos will be long-form, all of the content in Shorts will be short-form, and all of the content in Live Streaming will be past, present, and upcoming live streams on the funnel pages (if any). By the fall of this year, these adjustments will be visible on the platform.
TikTok Now, a BeReal clone app, is now accessible in markets outside of the US.
Outside of the US, TikTok's standalone BeReal clone application is now available. Users can download "TikTok Now" and receive daily prompts to publish a "Now" clip, displaying what they're up to at an any hour.
