YouTube followed the short vertical video trend by introducing Shorts back in 2020. Now, the company is grabbing a couple of features from Instagram Reels and TikTok for its Shorts.

YouTube announced six new Shorts-focused additions yesterday, starting with the “Collab” ability to record a Short in a side-by-side layout with an existing YouTube clip. It goes without saying that Instagram and TikTok have offered this feature for a while.
