YouTube is removing stories from the platform to focus its efforts on Shorts, long-form videos, and lives.
Starting from 26 June, users will no longer be able to create new YouTube Story, with the ones already live expiring 7 days after they were originally shared.
With the removal of Stories, YouTube is viewing Community posts and YouTube Shorts as the main alternatives, which can deliver “valuable audience connections and conversations”, the platform said in a blog post.
YouTube will announce new features for both Shorts and Community posts throughout the year. “we are committed to investing in new and innovative tools to help you grow your audiences across YouTube”, the company said.
