YouTube has announced it will test a beta version of its new TikTok rival in India.

At the time, India was TikTok's biggest foreign market, with an estimated 120 million users. YouTube Shorts will limit videos to 15 seconds, and the platform will feature creator tools that are similar to Chinese - owned TikTok's. YouTube will also be in competition with a number of local competitors who have rushed in to fill the void after TikTok's ban in India. The new platform features a multi - segment camera to string multiple video clips together, speed controls, and a timer and countdown to record hands - free.  

YouTube's vice president of product management Chris Jaffe said Shorts is "for creators and artists who want to shoot short, catchy videos using nothing but their mobile phones". Shorts also gives users the option to record using music as well as access to a library of songs.  India's government cited similar concerns when it banned the app in June. The aim of the deal is to avoid President Donald Trump's threat to shut down the app in the US over national security concerns.  YouTube's latest product release comes as the US tech firm Oracle confirmed that TikTok's owner ByteDance had formally proposed becoming a "trusted technology partner" in the US.
