YouTube channels will soon have a dedicated ‘Shorts’ and ‘Live’ tab

Now, in a blog post, YouTube announced that based on user feedback they are introducing separate tabs for Shorts, Live Streams and Videos on the Channel page. The company says the change will make it ‘easier for viewers to discover the kinds of content they’re most interested in when exploring a creator’s channel page’.

While the Videos tab will now house long-form videos only, the Shorts tab will have only shorts whereas the Live tab will show past, current and upcoming live streams.

you heard correctly 📢 we’re beginning to roll out Videos, Shorts, and Live tabs so you can easily explore these different kinds of content on YouTube

The update might also appeal to long-time YouTube users who did not like the idea of live streams and shorts cluttering up the Videos tab. Now, if you click on the creators’ names when watching shorts, the app will redirect you to the channel’s Shorts tab instead of the Videos tab.
YouTube said the update is gradually rolling out and will be available to everyone in the coming weeks, so you might have some time before it is available on your device.
