YouTube has similar stories on Instagram

KOMPAS.com – YouTube has released a new feature for users, especially content creators. This feature allows users to record short videos that will appear in a certain period of time, similar to Instagram stories.

Although its function is similar, YouTube's story features differ from those of Instagram. One of the differences is the length of time the video is displayed on an account.

The video story feature of YouTube has a longer viewing period than Instagram Stories.

If Insta Stories videos are visible for only one day, YouTube stories are broadcast for one week. After this period, the video will automatically disappear.

There are other differences in the interactions that can be built from the YouTube stories. Users watching these video stories can respond directly to comments.

Unlike comments on Instagram stories, it can only be seen through the direct message feature.

Videos uploaded via YouTube stories can be viewed by other users to which these users subscribe (s & # 39; register) the channel or not. The short video will also appear on the "next" bar on the right side and can be rotated automatically.
