There is a YouTube Stories video that you liked and you want to download and save it on your device. Do not worry about it we have got you covered.
An update from YouTube in early 2021 has brought about some new changes in its homepage along with some new features as well. On the mobile App of YouTube, there is a new section in a place called Short Stories. These are videos with a duration of up to a minute at the max and are basically based on your interests and preferences as picked by the YouTube algorithm.
What is YouTube Stories
Despite the success of Instagram Stories, YouTube doesn’t appear intent on making its own carbon copy. There are marked differences between the two.
First, not everyone can create YouTube Stories, as the feature is only available to creators that already have a substantial audience.
Second, the videos last for seven days rather than 24 hours, and there is also the option of creating multiple Stories, each with its own set of videos, to be live at one time. This is distinct from sites like Instagram and Snapchat, where all photos and videos are pulled into one, centralized Story.
In terms of discovery, Stories will appear in the ‘Up Next’ list for non-subscribers and in the ‘Subscriptions’ tab for subscribers. There are elements that are undeniably similar to Instagram and Snapchat, such as the ability to add music, filters, and stickers to videos.
Additionally, viewers can comment on Stories as well as ‘heart’, ‘thumbs up’ or ‘thumbs down’ other comments.

- Short Stories – These are the videos uploaded by YouTube Developers to Promote an upcoming video or share any info.
- Short Videos – These are short videos taken from YouTube Channels and are generally funny or informative, they are suggested according to the YT algorithms.
