After TikTok gained popularity, YouTube also launched Shorts to let creators upload short and vertical video content on YouTube. YouTube Shorts was initially launched in India and later it was expanded to other regions. Shorts is basically a YouTube section that features short-form video content made directly using a smartphone camera. YouTube has made a dedicated Shorts section in the YouTube app where you can watch short videos uploaded by creators. But what if you want to watch Shorts on your PC using a desktop browser? Although YouTube has made Shorts for accessing content on mobile apps, you can also watch YouTube Shorts on PC. In this article, I will explain how you can watch YouTube Shorts on PC.
Now on the desktop interface, YouTube has added a dedicated section for Shorts. Check the left sidebar on YouTube’s home page.
It will open the Shorts section on the browser. You can keep hitting down the Arrow key for the next video or the up arrow key for the previous video. You can also scroll using the mouse wheel.
I personally prefer the arrow key for navigating through videos.
What if you want to watch Shorts uploaded by a specific creator?
If you want to watch Shorts uploaded by a specific creator, open the creator’s channel and you will see a dedicated section for Shorts at the end of the channel’s page.
Although there is an option to watch Shorts on PC, watching it on a smartphone offers a better expereince. It is still a personal choice. This is the reason Google has added the option to watch Shorts on both mobile apps and desktop websites. If you have been looking for ways to watch Shorts on PC, now you know how to watch.
