YouTube Shorts is a short-form video-sharing option by YouTube, basically a knockoff of TikTok. The platform hosts user content much like YouTube's primary service but limits the short VERTICAL videos to a maximum length of 60 seconds.
Sign in to your YouTube Studio account at: https://studio.youtube.com
In the top-right corner, click CREATE. Select "Upload videos".
Select a short-video file on your computer: Up to 60 seconds, with a square or vertical aspect ratio.
Include #Shorts in the video "Description" section to add your video to YouTube Shorts.
PRO TIP: Create YouTube Short directly on your mobile device via the YouTube app (no #shorts required as "Create a Short" is an option on your YouTube mobile app).


This forum discussion on uploading YouTube Shorts from a computer is interesting because it shows how content creators are always seeking simpler, faster workflows. I remember working on a project where creators wanted the same kind of streamlined process for editing and publishing across devices. That’s where thoughtful design and reliable mobile app development services play a big role, ensuring tools adapt to user needs while keeping the creative flow uninterrupted.
