YouTube Announces New Feature That Lets You Watch Shorts Videos in Series Format

YouTube has announced its "Shorts Series" feature, which allows content creators to organize their vertical videos into television-style seasons and episodes. According to the company's statement, the feature enables users to follow selected Shorts content as a seamless story flow instead of randomly browsing between individual clips.

How Will the Feature Work?

The new feature will be accessible directly through content creators' YouTube channels. According to the company's statement, series will be offered with custom thumbnails and advanced playback options. The feature is being gradually rolled out for content creators included in the YouTube Partner Program across web, mobile, and connected televisions.

Adaptation to the Vertical Content Trend

This move by the platform is not considered a surprise given the vertical production trend that has recently spread rapidly among internet users and well-known figures. In addition to names such as Hannah Stocking and Joshua Ovenshire, Hollywood actors such as James Franco, Issa Rae, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson are also participating in projects in vertical format.
