YouTube to allow minute-long of licensed music for Shorts creators, everything you need to know about the feature

YouTube today announced that Shorts video creators would soon be able to include up to a minute of copyrighted music in their Shorts, which is the latest attempt by YouTube to allure TikTok creators onto YouTube Shorts. The new length limit for any licensed song is a significant improvement over the previous 15-second restriction.

According to YouTube, “for most tracks,” short-form makers will be able to use between 30 and 60 seconds of legally obtained audio. Some songs, whose licencing agreements determine which tracks fall in which window, will continue to be limited to 15 seconds. In the audio selector of the YouTube app, creators may immediately discover how long each song permits. On iOS and Android, the new song-length options will roll out starting today and continuing “over the next few weeks.”

Aggressive DMCA take down notices have become a burden for broadcasters on all platforms as the number of user-generated videos has skyrocketed over the past ten years. Copyright enforcement by record labels is frequently automated, which results in exaggerated allegations. For instance, content producers have had their videos disallowed because they unintentionally used a brief segment of copyrighted audio from a passing car’s stereo. In order to stop bystanders from sharing their lawfully obtained films, some police officers have even used the DMCA to their advantage by blasting Taylor Swift songs.

The song-limit increase is YouTube’s most recent effort to lure TikTok creators (and consequently viewers and advertising revenue) to Shorts. Regardless of whether they use music, the company announced a programme in September to share ad revenue and give qualified creators a 45 per cent cut. TikTok introduced a comparable sharing programme earlier this year in response to widespread criticism of its prior “static pool of money” strategy.

Shorts reports views from more than 1.5 billion logged-in people each month, suggesting that YouTube’s aggressive strategy is working. TikTok had amassed 1 billion monthly users as of September 2021. However, those figures probably include users who were already on YouTube watching other content due to YouTube’s overall dominance in the video space. On the other hand, TikTok’s statistics more obviously include users searching for its unique short-form videos, an audience that YouTube and other media behemoths like Meta are still vying for.

A renowned tipster, Evan Blass, has provided enthusiasts with an early look at the design and colour choices of the Samsung Galaxy M35, ahead of its highly anticipated debut in the Indian market. The smartphone is set to arrive in three distinct colour variations – grey, light blue, and dark blue, which show striking similarities with the Galaxy A35, suggesting a possible rebranding strategy by Samsung.

The leaked image showcases the Galaxy M35 with a vertically aligned triple rear camera setup, positioned at the top left corner alongside an LED flash integrated into what appears to be a plastic back. The Galaxy M35 introduces a sleeker and more modern look with a hole punch selfie camera cutout, departing from the water drop style notch seen on its predecessor.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy M35 is expected to boast a substantial 6000mAh battery capacity, surpassing its counterpart, the Galaxy A35, which contains 5000mAh. This enhancement in battery power indicates Samsung’s commitment to delivering extended usage durations for its consumers. 

Moreover, specific specifications are yet to be confirmed by Samsung, but reports suggest that the Galaxy M35 could feature a 6.6-inch display and run on an Exynos 1380 chipset paired with 6 GB of RAM, ensuring seamless performance for users across various tasks and applications. 

Despite bearing a resemblance to the Galaxy A35, the leaked image also highlights subtle differences between the two models, notably in the design of the volume and power buttons, as well as the location of the SIM tray. Such nuances indicate the potential distinction in user experience and functionality between the two devices.

As excitement grows for the upcoming release of the Samsung Galaxy M35, fans and tech enthusiasts are eagerly waiting for more information from the company about the phone’s specifications, price, and when it will be available. Stay tuned for more updates in the days or weeks leading up to the official unveiling of the Galaxy M35.
