YouTube goes after Twitch with its own ‘Clips’ feature

Both creators and signed in viewers will be able to create clips between five and 60 seconds in length.

What you need to know

  • YouTube has rolled out an experimental clipping feature for creators.
  • The feature allows creators to make short clips of their live streams or videos.
  • The ability to create clips is currently limited to desktop and Android devices.

YouTube has started testing a clipping feature on its platform, allowing creators to capture short segments from their videos or live streams. The feature is now available on desktop and Android devices, but will soon be available on iOS devices as well.

Clipping is a feature that is becoming more and more common on live-streaming platforms. Twitch, which is one of the most popular live-streaming platforms out there, introduced Clips in 2016. YouTube says it will be testing the clipping feature only with a small group of creators to start. It plans to make updates to the feature based on the feedback received from creators.

The Clips feature on YouTube enables creators and signed in viewers to select a 5-60 second segment from their video uploads and streams, which they can then share on various social media platforms. It is worth noting, however, that Clips cannot be made from videos that are made for kids, live streams without DVR, live streams that are over 8 hours in length, or premieres that are still live.

Once you start watching an eligible video on YouTube, you'll have to click the clip icon under the video to create and share a clip. Once the create clip box appears, select the section of the video you want to clip and give it a title. Next, click the Share Clip button to access all the different sharing options.

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
