After YouTube discontinued its private messaging feature in 2019, the platform is now reintroducing this functionality for a select group of users. Users with access to the test are able to share videos directly on the mobile app, including long-form videos, Shorts, and even live streams. They'll be able to tap the Share button to open a full-screen chat within the app, allowing them to start a private one-on-one conversation or a group chat. Friends can reply with a video of their own, or simply type a response or use emojis.

This new messaging product brings the collaboration that already happens across text messages directly into Zillow, said David Beitel, chief technology officer at Zillow. It's another step toward making the home journey simpler and more connected. We're continuing to bring more of the experience onto Zillow so buyers can move from browsing to closing with less friction and more confidence.
