YouTube rolling out long-awaited Clips feature for streams and videos Pexels\/YouTubeYouTube has announced that it will finally be implementing a clips feature for videos in the near future and that it\u2019s currently testing it out with smaller content creators, before it moves on to a more widespread release. For years, the YouTube community has been begging for a clips feature to be added to the site, in order to allow for an easier way to find small parts of longer videos, similar to what Twitch has had for a while. Now it seems like the higher ups at the video sharing site are finally listening and it won\u2019t be too long before the communities wants will be answered. On January 28, YouTube announced that it is testing out a clips feature for their website. According to a post on the YouTube support page, the feature will allow users to clip out five-to-60 seconds of someone\u2019s video, whether it be a standard video upload or a stream, and then share it to others through a link. There\u2019s an experiment coming to a limited number of gaming channels soon \u2013 Clips! Get the details here: https:\/\/t.co\/IJoGkM8fEk \u2014 YouTube Gaming (@YouTubeGaming) January 28, 2021 Over on Twitter, Head of Gaming Creators at YouTube Lester Chen shared a gif of the feature in action, showcasing just how users will be to clip out a section of video and share it with the world. Of course, it remains to be seen how easy the feature will be to use once it actually launches, but it\u2019s still nice to get an idea. In terms of when the feature will roll-out to everyone, YouTube says that it\u2019s currently testing the feature with smaller content creators before it launches it worldwide. Unfortunately, there\u2019s no indication about who will actually have it for the time being or how soon it\u2019ll launch across the world. Today we are launching an experimental version of Clips on YouTube. Check out videos on the Creator Insider channel and test it out yourself! Clips are 5-60 sec, shareable, segments of content (Live\/VOD) that live on top of the original video.

All in all, it\u2019s nice that YouTube is finally rolling out this long-awaited feature, especially considering Twitch has had something similar for a good while now. Here\u2019s hoping the rollout is smooth and quick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
