As I said previously, YouTube is going to launch its own user-generated, short content app “Shorts”. This app will allow users to upload videos in feeds just like TikTok. But the perk is the user will be able to use all YouTube’s licensed music to make the video. It is not a new thing for YouTube though. They brought a version of Instagram stories in their site before because of its user popularity. Even Facebook is also experimenting on a similar app like TikTok called “Lasso” in Brazilian markets.
