YouTube Shorts have been gaining some popularity as of late, and this is fueling the company to invest more time and energy into the platform. While you aren\u2019t able to watch those vertical slices of content on your TV, that\u2019s about to change. According to Protocol, YouTube will soon allow you to watch Shorts on your smart TV.
\nFeelings toward TikTok-esque videos are pretty divided: either you love them or you have a heated disdain for them. Whatever the case, the company proudly reported that Shorts reached a daily view count of more than 30 billion earlier this year. Any way you slice it, that\u2019s a lot, and the company is looking to continue that thunder.
\nYou will be able to watch YouTube Shorts on your smart TV
\nSince YouTube unveiled Shorts, you\u2019ve never been able to cast the short videos to other devices and they haven\u2019t been accessible from the TV app. This means that you can only watch them on your phone. That makes sense, as they\u2019re meant to be viewed on smartphones.
\nHowever, YouTube is still planning on bringing Shorts to your smart TV. YouTube attended an internal partner event at Google\u2019s headquarters about the company\u2019s TV platforms: Google TV and Android TV. At the event, YouTube explained that it wants to make its TV app able to stream Shorts. A presentation slide was made by the company and it shows how it will appear on the TV.<\/p>\n
Showing a vertical video on a landscape device will, undoubtedly, leave a lot of empty space, so YouTube put some of it to good use. We see the video front and center. On the right of it, we see the Like\/Dislike buttons with a three-dot button next to them. Above those, you\u2019ll see the name of the channel, the title of the video, and the title of the song if the Short involves music.
\nThis update to the app will be coming over the next couple of months, so you\u2019ll want to keep an eye out for it if you want to watch shorts on your TV.
