Shorts are now available in the UK, Canada and Latin America

YouTube Shorts is launching in the UK, Canada and Latin America. The TikTok rival first launched in India and shortly after in the US. Reported by TechCrunch, the rollout is expected to be completed by the end of June. 

YouTube Shorts allows creators to record, edit and share 60 second videos. Launched to enable “creators and artists who want to shoot short, catchy videos using nothing but their mobile phones”, Shorts can be reached by the YouTube audience of more than two billion people.

Some of the key features of Shorts:

• A multi-segment camera to string multiple video clips together
• Record with music from a library of songs
• Speed controls to be creative in the performance
• A timer and countdown to record hands-free.
