The popular sixty-second videos are rolling out to smart TVs in waves
, the move wasn’t so simple.
The main issue was figuring out how to bring vertical videos meant for smartphones to horizontal television screens.The solution to this problem was to create a custom option that makes “the most of [a] wide screen’s additional space.” Shorts will be displayed with an outline around them alluding to a smartphone screen. Behind the videos will be a “color-sampled blurred background” reflecting the content. YouTube saw that it fit better than a simple pitch-black background.
Shorts on TV can be found by scrolling down to its section on the YouTube smart TV app. Once you select a Short, the videos will play in an endless loop until you exit. You can use the middle button on your remote control to start or stop a Short or use the play and pause buttons, instead,. Pressing the right button on the remote brings up information about the video like the video title, who created it, and the sound they used.
You can navigate between shorts using your remote's up and down buttons. Work on the feature isn’t over yet as there are plans to include more community features like the ability to subscribe to a creator while viewing a Short. YouTube Shorts on TV launches today and will roll out to streaming devices and TV models made after 2018 over the coming weeks. The company states it may not work on older TVs which means there may be a lucky few where it does.and other current-gen consoles. We asked Google for more clarification and what kind of community features are in the pipeline. This story will be updated if we hear back.
