The Clips feature is going away.
YouTube is making changes that might affect how you share videos from the mobile app. You can now share videos from a specific timestamp, making it easier to highlight a particular part of a video while on your phone. However, this change will replace the Clips feature that allowed you to create a shareable clip from a video.
You can still watch any Clips you’ve already made. Moving forward, “the ability to set an end time or include a custom description when sharing will no longer be available,” YouTube states. The company notes that while clipping is an “important way for creators to reach new audiences,” there are now “a number of third-party tools with advanced clipping features and authorized creator programs available to do this across different video platforms.”
The company introduced the Clips feature in 2021.
