YouTube has announced a new method to create, share and watch on YouTube called Shorts. Designed for short-form videos (15 seconds or less) created on mobile phones, YouTube Shorts will first start off as a trial in India.

At present, Shorts creation tools include a multi-segment camera for combining clips, the ability to record with music from a library of songs, speed controls and a timer. If you’re on Android, you’ll see a new spot for the create icon.

To help audience discover new shorts, YouTube has recently added a row on its homepage for short videos. Starting today, you can also swipe vertically from one video to the next and discover other similar short videos.
