YouTube adds Reply with Video
More YouTube creators are turning to short-form videos with the recently introduced feature Reply with Video to comments, enabling interaction with fans and potentially increasing YouTube’s overall viewership.
“Invite your audience to connect with you via this new feature by answering their questions in your Shorts, taking content requests, reacting to comments in your videos, and whatever else you come up with,” the company said.
The feature is available for iOS, with Android due to be available soon.
YouTube is also testing notification when a creator features their comment in a Short.
TikTok rolled out this feature in 2020, while the Instagram version of Reels Visual Replies was available last December.
