YouTube Shorts are characterized by the following features:

• With the app you can record short videos of up to 15 seconds in length.
• It is possible to record several videos in succession.
• In addition, certain effects and functions are available, such as changing the playback speed, inserted sounds and text overlays.

Instagram has also already gone down this path, under the name Reels.Currently, the Shorts feature is still in beta and recording is only available to users in the US and India. YouTubers in other countries can participate via a roundabout way by uploading videos of 60 seconds or less in vertical format and tagging them with the hashtag #shorts.
