YouTube confirmed on Wednesday that its collaborative “Add Yours” sticker for YouTube Shorts is now fully rolled out. The Google-owned company first announced the feature back in July.
The sticker works just like Instagram’s feature of the same name, as it prompts users to share their own take on a creator’s video. Both platforms’ “Add Yours” features take a page out of TikTok’s book, as they are somewhat similar to the short-form video app’s “duet” tool that allows users to create content featuring an original video.
With the new Shorts feature, you can do things like post a Short of your dog and add the sticker to spark a chain reaction of adorable content by prompting others share videos of their own dogs. Or, you can post an “Outfit of the Day” Short and then prompt others to share their own via the sticker.
Once you’re done recording a video, you can tap the stickers icon and select the “Add Yours” sticker and then enter a prompt. After your Short is published, viewers can respond with a Short of their own, or tap the sticker to check out other responses.
The sticker was announced as part of a suite of new features for creators, including the ability to automatically transform longer videos into Shorts, and create auto-generated captions that you can edit and customize with different fonts and colors.
