Who can see the clips I created?
Clips are public and can be watched and shared by anyone with access to the Clip who can also watch the original video. Creators can watch and share all Clips made from their videos in their Library page on the main YouTube app and in YouTube Studio. Clips can also be seen on select search, discovery, and analytics surfaces available to viewers and creators on YouTube.
Why are the clips I created no longer available?
Clips of a particular video will be removed if:
- The original video is deleted or set to private.
- The original video violates our Community Guidelines.
I created a clip from a live stream that's not working.
Clips will show up after the live stream has finished and is uploaded as a video. You can’t create Clips from live streams without DVR or live streams longer than the DVR timeframe. Learn how to turn on DVR on live streams.
If a live stream lasts longer than the DVR timeframe, any clips that fall outside the DVR timeframe will not be playable until the live stream ends, and the original video is posted.
Can I create Shorts from Clips?
Yes, you can remix a clip if the clip's source video is eligible for remix. All remix tools available to you on a video are also available to any clip of that video.
Creators who own the clip's source video can convert the entire clip into a Short.
How can I view my clips performance?
