\nYouTube Stories are shutting down June 26 as company focuses on Shorts<\/br>
\n2023-05-27 22:12:38<\/br><\/p>\n

\n

Stories are over \u2014 at least on YouTube, that is. The Google-owned video site announced today that YouTube Stories will be shutting down on June 26, 2023, as the company aims to focus on other key areas, like Shorts, Community posts and live videos, in addition to its traditional long-form content. Creators will be alerted to the shutdown through various channels, like forum posts, in-app messages, reminders in YouTube Studio and more, YouTube says.<\/p>\n

Once copied by nearly every social app, Stories have lost traction in the wake of TikTok\u2019s rise. These days, services are adopting the short-form vertical video format popularized by TikTok instead of the more ephemeral and casual Stories format.<\/p>\n

YouTube isn\u2019t alone in abandoning Stories, either. Netflix in years past had tested a Stories-like feature<\/a> called \u201cExtras\u201d in its mobile app where it shared videos and photos from popular shows. The streamer later moved on to embrace vertical video with the launch of features like its short-form comedy videos feed \u201cFast Laughs<\/a>\u201d and a related vertical video feature<\/a> aimed at kids. LinkedIn also abandoned its Stories feature in 2021.<\/a> And while Spotify recently introduced a feature similar to Stories for artists\u2019 profiles<\/a>, the app\u2019s larger redesign is one that prioritizes TikTok-like discovery feeds<\/a> as its central focus.<\/p>\n

First launched in 2018, YouTube officially rolled out Stories<\/a> to creators with over 10,000 subscribers \u2014 but it never broadened access to everyone on YouTube to allow casual, personal sharing to really take off. The company had suggested at the time creators could use Stories to engage with their audience in between their more polished and produced videos for things like behind-the-scenes updates, vlogs, sneak peeks at upcoming videos, quick updates and more.<\/p>\n

Like Stories on Instagram and Snapchat, YouTube Stories would disappear after a period of time \u2014 in this case, seven days. It wasn\u2019t possible to save Stories on a creator\u2019s profile the way you can with Instagram\u2019s Story Highlights<\/a>, however.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s fair to say the feature saw limited adoption, especially given the success of other engagement tools like Community<\/a> posts, which also let creators share quick updates, promote their content or have conversations with fans. In fact, YouTube essentially admits that Stories weren\u2019t working, noting in today\u2019s announcement that, among creators who used both Stories and Community posts, the latter drove \u201cmany times more comments and likes\u201d compared to Stories. Access to Community posts recently expanded<\/a> to a broader set of creators, as YouTube dropped the >500 subscriber requirement.<\/p>\n

In addition, creators have shifted their efforts in short-form video over to YouTube Shorts. The company notes this format has also been more successful than Stories, as creators who used both, on average, saw \u201cmany times more subscribers\u201d on Shorts than on Stories.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Shorts adoption grew on YouTube, we saw that creators benefited from this new format,\u201d a YouTube spokesperson told TechCrunch about the changes. \u201cStories are going away so we can prioritize key areas that creators need to be successful. We\u2019ll continue to invest in helping creators grow and connect with their audiences across formats,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n

In addition to a community forum post, creators who frequently use Stories will be alerted to their shutdown via a notification in YouTube Studio, in Help Center content, and YouTube will remind creators about the changes in an upcoming Creator Insider video, where it regularly publishes updates. Plus, there will be a notification directly in Stories, if creators access the feature prior to June 26.<\/p>\n

On that date, it will no longer be possible to create a new YouTube Story, but Stories that are already live will remain up for seven days after they were originally shared, YouTube says.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
