Why have my Clips disappeared from my library? Also note that Livestreams without DVR and longer than eligible hours aren’t eligible for Clips. However, if the live stream has been uploaded in the form of a video, you can create mini clips. Right now, it’s not possible to make Clips out of Livestreams that are currently unfolding. This trick is only available while using YouTube on your PC. When they click on it, they will be transported to the exact part of the video that you highlighted.Paste the URL in a messaging app and send it to your friend or family member.
Right-click on the video and select “Copy video URL at current time.”. Note that you need to be logged in to your account to be able to see the option. Underneath the video window, look for the “Clip” option, the one that has a pair of scissors next to it, and click on it. On your computer, open up a YouTube video in your browser. This tutorial will walk you through the steps for both platforms. You can create YouTube Clips both on YouTube on PC as well as your mobile device (Android/iOS). Even while Clips are also mini videos, they are created from existing YouTube videos while Shorts are original content. Shorts lets YouTube users get creative by allowing them to shoot short-form videos (once again up to 60 seconds in length), similar to TikToks, using nothing but their mobile device. YouTube Clips should not be confused with Shorts, which is another more recent addition to the streaming service. YouTube started to test this feature on select accounts early last year and seems like it has extended Clips’ availability.
Users making Clips will get access to a draggable timeline editor that will allow them to choose the part they want to share via a new URL. Clips can be up to 60 seconds in length and created from most YouTube videos – although not all. Clips is a relatively new feature introduced by YouTube that mimics a similar and very popular feature from livestream platforms such as Twitch.
