YouTube to roll out its short-video format section to desktops, tablets

YouTube is rolling out its short-video format section called YouTube Shorts to desktops and tablets soon. Previously, the section was only accessible to mobile phones users, and people could not open Shorts videos on platforms like desktops, tablets and Smart TVs. However, now Google is planning to introduce the segment for desktops and tablets. But, apparently, Smart TVs will still not be able to play Shorts clips for now. The modification is likely to come over the next few weeks. This is great news for tablet and desktop users who enjoy consuming content on larger screens instead of on smartphones.

Cut works similarly to TikTok's 'Stitch' feature in that it allows users to add parts of other users' videos to their own recordings. Users who do not want their clips mixed into other people's videos, on the other hand, can simply disable the feature. The Cut feature is likely to arrive first on Apple's iOS devices, followed by Android users later this year.
