Frequently Asked Questions

How long can a YouTube Short be?

As of October 15, 2024, YouTube Shorts can be up to 3 minutes long. This was an increase from the previous duration limit, offering creators more flexibility for their content.

How does monetization work on YouTube Shorts?

YouTube Shorts moved to a revenue-sharing model for ads starting February 1, 2023, replacing the previous YouTube Shorts Fund. Under this model, ad revenue from the Shorts Feed is pooled and distributed to monetizing creators based on their share of total views. Creators keep 45% of their allocated revenue. Over 80% of creators in the YouTube Partner Program (YPP) have met the Shorts eligibility criteria and can earn through advertising, fan funding, and YouTube Premium revenue.

What are some recent AI-powered features for YouTube Shorts?

YouTube has introduced several AI tools for Shorts creators. 'Dream Screen' is an experimental feature that uses generative AI to add AI-generated video or image backgrounds to Shorts. The platform has also confirmed experimenting with AI-powered video processing to 'improve clarity,' which can alter Shorts content by sharpening images or smoothing skin, though this has raised transparency concerns among creators. Other announced AI tools include 'Aloud' for AI-powered dubbing and 'Assistive Search in Creator Music' to help find soundtracks.
