Youtube Shorts Big Update 2024 | Youtube Shorts New Monetization Update | 15 October

Science & Technology

Introduction

Welcome back to my channel! Today, I have an exciting new update to share with you regarding Youtube Shorts. It's been a while since I uploaded a video, but this news is sure to spark your interest.

So, what’s the update about? Previously, you could upload Youtube Shorts of up to 15 seconds and later it was reduced to 10 seconds. But here's the scoop: starting October 15, you’ll now be able to upload Shorts that are up to three minutes long! This change will allow more creative freedom for content creators, and it will still qualify as a Short.

New Monetization Rules

Additionally, there are important updates regarding monetization. If your Short is three minutes or less, it will be counted for watch time. However, if your Short exceeds three minutes, only the views will count, not the watch time. This means you can still monetize your channel with 10 million views, even if those views come from a three-minute Short.

It’s crucial to know that uploading copyrighted music in your Shorts could lead to copyright issues. Previously, it was common to use any song without repercussions, but with three-minute Shorts, you may receive copyright claims, so it’s best to be cautious about the music you choose.

While you may be excited about the potential for monetization, be aware that views might gradually decrease as the platform adjusts to these changes. Eventually, the algorithm could work in your favor again, but for now, it's essential to focus on producing quality content within the new framework.

If you choose to upload a video shorter than three minutes, it will still be categorized as a Short. For longer content, ensure it's over three minutes to be considered a long video.

Conclusion

The monetization rates will remain the same: whether you upload a 60-second Short or a three-minute one, the revenue will be aligned with previous rates. So, if you're feeling optimistic about these changes, go ahead and experiment with the new format. I would love to hear your thoughts; let me know in the comments how you feel about these updates!
