YouTube is making some changes that may affect the way you share videos from the mobile app. From the app, you can finally share video from a specific timestamp, making it easy to point someone to the part of the video you want to show while you’re on your phone. However, this change will replace the Clips feature that lets you create shareable clips from a video.
You’ll still be able to watch any clips you’ve already created. But moving forward, “the ability to set an end time or include a custom description when sharing will no longer be available,” YouTube says. The company notes that clipping is “an important way for creators to reach new audiences”, adding that “several third-party tools with advanced clipping features and authorized creator programs are now available to do this across a variety of video platforms.”
The company originally introduced the Clips feature in 2021.
