YouTube is expanding the reach of its TikTok competitor, YouTube Shorts, with today’s announcement that it will begin rolling out Shorts on TV to its global users.
The company’s updated smart TV app will now allow users to view the popular vertical videos in an optimized experience that’s designed to feel more consistent with what users see on mobile, YouTube explains.
YouTube says the new Shorts-watching feature will require a smart TV from 2019 or later, a newer gaming console or a streaming device.
The videos themselves can be found on the new Shorts shelf on the homepage of the YouTube app or on a creator’s channel page.
