YouTube Shorts positioning is a short video function on YouTube. The short video content provided by the function is also uploaded by the user. The user can also select the music in the YouTube music library as the video soundtrack. The overall logic is the same as TikTok.

It is expected that this feature will be officially launched on YouTube in the second half of this year.
