YouTube is ready to entertain its users with another outstanding feature, YouTube Stories, similar to Instagram.

YouTube has been testing it since last year.

Users with more than 10,000 subscribers can publish stories on the mobile app and subscribers and non-subscribers, both can view these stories.

Stories will itself show in the “Up Next” sidebar when anyone watches a video from a creator that has recently been published.

They will also show in a carousel appearing at the top of the home screens of the subscriber.

Like Instagram and Snapchat, YouTube to provides creation tools for stories.

Users should know the difference between YouTube and other social media stories before they publish.
