YouTube is the latest tech giant to roll out a TikTok competitor in the U.S.
The Google-owned video streaming giant is bringing shortform video experience YouTube Shorts to U.S. users over the coming weeks.

Since then, Shorts have passed 6.5 billion daily views globally, the company says.

YouTube Shorts, the platform’s TikTok copycat product that first launched last September in India -- where TikTok is banned -- is rolling out today in the U.S. via a beta test.
Since introducing Shorts last year, product lead Todd Sherman notes that the number of Indian channels using YouTube's creation tools has more than tripled since December, and that the YouTube Shorts player has now surpassed 6.5 billion daily views globally. That's nearly double the 3.5 billion daily views that the platform reported just last month -- a signal that the format is catching on like wildfire.
In coming months, YouTube says it will work to perfect the Shorts product in tandem with feedback from the global community as it introduces new features, as well as a monetization paradigm.

Following through on a plan announced last month, YouTube Shorts has launched in beta in the U.S.
The launch of the short-form answer to TikTok begins today and will reach the entire country over the next few weeks.
In a blog post, Shorts product lead Todd Sherman noted progress in India, where the platform launched last year. The number of Indian channels using Shorts creation tools, he said, has more than tripled since the beginning of December. The YouTube Shorts player has racked up 6.5 billion daily views globally.
Established tech companies have been mounting responses to the spectacular and sudden rise of TikTok over the past couple of years. TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, is privately held and has released only limited data on its users. But legal documents during its battle with the Trump administration revealed that TikTok’s active user base grew from 11.2 million to more than...

Six months after first launching in India, YouTube is bringing the beta for Shorts — its TikTok-style vertical video format — to the U.S., the company announced on Thursday.
This drops yet another competitor into the Western music market’s increasingly crowded short-form video space — albeit one whose relevance to the music industry has already been established. YouTube Global Head of Music Lyor Cohen, who built up decades of industry influence himself while at Def Jam, Warner Music, and 300 Entertainment, tells Rolling Stone that YouTube decided to enter the short-form...

The suspected YouTube shooter has been identified as Nasim Aghdam, a disgruntled user of the video platform. Before wounding three employees and taking her own life on Tuesday, Nasim claimed she was discriminated against and wrongfully censored by the company. Nasim, who was a die-hard vegan and animal rights activist, posted clips denouncing YouTube for age restricting her videos and limiting the views she received on her content. She even accused the company of censoring her because of her beliefs. On a March 18 Instagram post, she wrote, "All my YouTube channels got filtered by YouTube so my videos hardly get views and it is called merely relegation." The night before the shooting, her father claims he told police she might be going to YouTube because she "hated" the company. She was found sleeping in her car Monday night and police told her family everything was "under control." A few hours later,...

Updated: A woman who opened fire at YouTube’s San Bruno, Calif., headquarters on Tuesday afternoon has been identified by police as Nasim Aghdam.
Aghdam was a YouTube user and posted numerous videos to the site under the name Nasime Sabz. In one January 2017 video, she says that the company engaged in discriminatory and unfair filtering practices, and that her videos used to get many views before she was filtered out. She also complains about a workout video getting age-restricted, resulting in fewer views, and, in another video, her channel being demonetized after YouTube’s new February ad policy.
Law enforcement earlier confirmed at a press conference that that shooter is dead, apparently of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. At least four victims sustained injuries and were transferred to the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, but no additional fatalities have been reported yet.
According to CNN, of the victims, one 36-year-old man is in critical condition,...
