As a world-renowned video platform, YouTube provides users with a rich variety of content presentation forms, including long videos, short videos, live broadcasts and posts. These different forms of content have their own characteristics and meet users’ needs and preferences for different types of content.
Long videos (Video)
Long videos usually refer to horizontal screen videos with a duration of more than 1 minute. Such videos cover a wide range of topics, including music, games, news, sports, cartoons and fashion. Due to their long duration, the production of such videos often requires certain editing and editing work to ensure the integrity and depth of the content. Users can gain a deeper understanding of the content of a certain topic or field through long videos.
Short videos (Short)
Short videos are characterized by a duration of less than 60 seconds, usually vertical videos. Such videos have various styles and cover various fields such as daily life, entertainment, and creativity. Similar to short video platforms such as Douyin in China, users can quickly publish their short video works by directly shooting and adding effects. The fast pace and concise and clear form of short videos have attracted the attention of a large number of users.

Live content covers a variety of topics, and users can interact with the anchor through Live Chat to share their thoughts and opinions. In addition, the short video column on YouTube also provides a live broadcast function, and users can join different live broadcast rooms at any time to experience a new viewing and interactive experience.
