Earlier, Spotify also began testing a Snapchat-style Stories feature. The feature allows select music artists and creators on the app to add videos to their public playlists.
This week, Netflix also began testing a new short-video feature for its iOS users. According to Bloomberg, the feature “Kids Clips” includes short videos for kids. These clips are taken from the library of children’s content available on the platform.
The OTT platform earlier launched a similar feature “Fast Laughs” to promote its comedy content.
Other major tech platforms that have launched short-form video feature like TikTok are YouTube and Instagram. YouTube launched YouTube Shorts last year which allows users to record and upload videos up to 60 seconds long.
Instagram Reel, or Reels, can be up to 60 seconds long and users can add AR effects, timer and countdown and music to their Reels.
