Shorts: YouTube testing ‘viewer-created Shorts featuring comments’ feature for Shorts – Times of India
“While creators are already able to reply to comments (posted on their own content) with a Short, we want to explore offering viewers the opportunity to create content from comments as well,” the company said in a support page. The Short will appear in the Shorts feed and on the viewers’ channel page.
Availability
The Google-owned company has announced that users on select Android and iOS devices will be able to use a comment from a video they are watching to create a separate YouTube Shorts video.
Limitations to the feature
Apart from restricted availability, YouTube has also mentioned a few limitations of the feature, that includes; creators cannot restrict which comment their viewers choose to make a Short out of, however, YouTube says the creators won’t be notified when a user creates a new content using a comment from their uploaded Short. The owner of the original comment will not be notified, either.
To create a Short from a comment, tap on the comment and then select the “Create Short” option. You will then be able to edit the comment and add music, effects, and other content. Once you are finished, you can share your Short with your followers.
“Viewer-created Shorts won’t send notifications to the creator whose video the comment is on, nor the comment author,” reads the support page. Moreover, the creators can’t prohibit their comments from being featured in a Short, unless comments on their videos are disabled.
