How To Upload 3 Minute Long YouTube Shorts - New Shorts Update (2024) Walk Through Video

What is that optimization score? Is it add on? Where can I get it? BTW thank you for the explanation!

Not working for me. I have 5 videos uploaded in the 1-2 minute range and some were uploaded a week ago. Nothing has changed. They are still categorized under the video section and not the shorts.

Great info. Thanks. Now I'm figuring out how to add my Thumbnail to my shorts.

Does it count with public watch time because it took 6 days to complete so im confused if it counts or not?

Awesome, thanks for showing this!

Super helpful, thanks Anita

Excellent ❤

Can I upload it as a regular video on my phone since it's vertical?

Yes, but what about the thumbnail? When uploading from our phone we can set the thumbnail...What happens when we use the desktop to upload the short ?

It doesn’t work it’s putting as a vidoe it don’t work

Are u British?

Thank u so much, hopefully they will make it soon that you can upload 3 minute shorts as shorts from the start

People often skip Shorts like the TikTok videos. If it is a music video short they might stick around. Film trailers might work.

hey hello hi there i have an issue then i did my first short with 2mins and 17 sec's and its not shown up as a short

She Doing it for views. Works for no one. 😠

Trying this now with my first 3 minute short! Thanks!

Thank you for this!!

I appreciate the walkthrough I'm kind of kinesthetic with editing

Thank you

Thank you so much for making this!!!!

Thank you !

Hi Anita, through the app making shorts under 60 secs you can choose any songs in the music library, will these get hit with a copyright if you use a longer clip of the same music?

Really helpful video. Thanks 😀

Thank you. This is the only content I could find for the issue regarding longer shorts.

It has not done it to any of my videos that are over 1 minute. It's killing my views not being a short

I'm giving this a shot. Thanks! Geez, YT...get it together already! Probably a lack of funding over at Google right now. 🙄

super helpful. Thanks for the explaination.

Thanks for explaining this I was so confused!

Should I wait to make it public until it moves to shorts section

it not works

i sleep and check

It's not recognized as short at all. How do I do?

Not working at all!

no work

thanks for your tutorial it helps a lot

What if you didn't want videos that were vertical and under 3 minutes as shorts? I like to upload cover songs. The shorts policy has a copyright in the background. lol Know anyways to convert my videos from vertical to landscape? Know of any work arounds?

Tks mom

What bout thumbnail?

Thank you.

How do I choose a thumbnail after it has been uploaded?
