YouTube Stories Retiring Next Month

YouTube Stories

Originally launched in 2018 in order to latch onto the Stories trend (which had been initially sparked by Snapchat), YouTube Stories aimed to provide a similar, full-screen engagement option, and provide more ways for creators to connect.

YouTube Stories Retiring Next Month

In the words on YouTube –

“Today, there are many ways to create on YouTube – from Community posts to Shorts, to long-form and Live. To prioritize these key features, Stories are going away. Starting on 6/26/2023 the option to create a new YouTube Story will no longer be available. Stories that are already live on that date will expire 7 days after they were originally shared.”

YouTube says that Community posts are far better at driving engagement and interaction, and with Shorts offering a similar, full-screen video experience, there are essentially better options than the Stories display.

YouTube Stories have less engagement than YouTube Shorts.
