YouTube Announces Updates for Shorts Including Longer Shorts, Templates & Comments In The Shorts Feed - Lindsey Gamble
Briefly

Starting October 14th, creators will be able to share Shorts up to three minutes long similar to TikTok, provided the videos are square or taller in aspect ratio.
YouTube is addressing one of creators' most requested features by allowing the creation of Shorts longer than 60 seconds. This extended duration gives creators more flexibility.
Interaction icons are being updated from solid to outlined, and the creator handle, description, and sound information have been repositioned further down.
These changes allow content to occupy more screen space, putting creators front and center, making the viewing experience more immersive.
