Much like Facebook and Instagram's Reels, YouTube Shorts are now blasting ads to its vertical video feed, with the company integrating this on videos with monetization, as well as those under its creator program. 

The company stated in its recent blog post that marketers can now join the vertical video craze with its latest feature available for all, and that is to transform ads into a new portrait format. And while some make their ads available by shooting them entirely on a vertical format, those with landscape production may change their look via the company's system. 

Users may have seen ads via Shorts in the vertical format, and those will get additional features via its latest tech which the company made available for ad-makers.

Machine Learning to Transform Landscape

YouTube said that this new feature will help advertisers create videos and change their format without losing their content or focus, for when the ads are playing on Shorts. 

Marketing teams and content creators wanting to push ads will be able to access this new tool via the assets library, with YouTube making four customizable vertical video ad templates and one square template in the video creation tool via Google Ads

It will center on featuring logos, faces, informative text, and other elements which will capture the advertisement for Shorts. 

YouTube Shorts' New Format

YouTube Shorts is a significant addition to the streaming platform's experience as it adapts the vertical or portrait feed from a massive app known today, TikTok. The feature came two years ago, and during its September 2020 pandemic release, people were given a chance to bring their TikTok-making skills to Google's famous website and app. 

Shorts is one of the competitors in the massive shift of social media platforms on the vertical video feed, especially with many top brands and companies creating their experience for all. With TikTok leading the charge, Meta's take on this is the integration of the Reels on Facebook and Instagram, with YouTube also in the game. 

Many improvements came to the Shorts since it first debuted, providing a way to have short vertical videos on the platform. 

Now, it is a fully pledged feature on the company's video streaming experience, with the vertical video format already receiving ads, which are abundant on YouTube's website for non-Premium users. It means that users would see more ads in their use, skipping the media after some time has elapsed, or after it expires.
