The battle continues between YouTube and the future. 19659008] In a site owned by Google on Thursday, he announced the extension of the deployment of the Stories feature to all creators of the platform with more than 10,000 subscribers.

YouTube's Stories feature is very similar to Stories on Instagram and Snapchat. Eligible creators in Extended Deployment can use Stories to add text, filters, stickers, music, and more to their videos.

However, there are many areas in which YouTube stories differ from others. A big difference is the time it takes for them to go away. YouTube stories remain visible in the mobile app for seven days before disappearing. Stories on platforms like Snapchat and Instagram only last 24 hours after publication. Viewers can also leave comments on the version of YouTube stories and creators have the opportunity to respond.

Stories appear on the YouTube mobile app, which appears at the top of the screen when you tap the Subscriptions tab. If you do not subscribe to a specific channel, you can still view the stories in this channel in "Next" when you visit the channel page.

  YouTube shared some examples of using the Stories feature.

YouTube videos on YouTube are presented exactly one year ago. Before today, the video platform only allowed some creators to test the Stories feature, previously known as Reels. With the wider deployment, more and more YouTube users will certainly start noticing stories they have not already encountered. However, with a minimum of 10,000 subscribers required to use Stories, YouTube still prevents many of its users from taking advantage of this feature.

As noted, YouTube Stories has generated some controversy within the platform community. Reddit users know if the Stories model really fits the YouTube platform. Well-known YouTube creators, such as Philip DeFranco, criticize how the Stories version on YouTube works.

The "Stories" of Youtube are strange. They stay in place for 7 days, they allow comments, but you can only respond with another video / photo, and they do not currently have any slide-up / video link features, which seems a missed opportunity.

Potential, but I am Skeptical.

Snapchat is generally credited with the concept of Stories, but the latest initiative YouTube has taken to create its own version of the feature really has more to do with Instagram owned by Facebook

During the summer, its own standalone video platform called IGTV. The application targeted the creators and allowed them to share long-term video content. And Facebook itself has its own video service, Facebook Watch. The social network has recently used various video advertising options, encroaching on YouTube's territory.
