Google-owned YouTube has allowed creators to reply to comments from their fans on their videos with Shorts on iOS devices. The company said that it heard creators’ request to allow them to feature comments posted on their channels in the content on the short-form video app.
YouTube Shorts releases the statement:
“Invite your audience to connect with you via this new feature by answering their questions in your Shorts, taking content requests, reacting to comments in your videos, and whatever else you come up with”
Here’s how it works:
- If you’re a creator, head to your video or a Short and open the comment section.
- Tap reply on the comment you want to respond to.
- Tap on the ‘Create a Short’ button to create a short video featuring that comment.
YouTube Shorts has reached 30 billion daily views and is growing exponentially. The company is also set to launch its Shorts on its smart TV platform called YouTube TV. YouTube TV is also planning to let viewers watch up to four live streams simultaneously via a new feature called “Mosaic Mode.”

This could be pretty handy for creators who might want to respond to some fans’ comments on a video as a follow-up. Creating a short video to do so is easier and more informal than creating a full video.
