How to activate Stories on YouTube

Prima di enter the dettaglio della procedura su how to do stories on youtube, I think it might interest you to know how you can access this functionality.

Well, currently the functionality in question is only available for channels that have it more than 10.000 subscribers and they have no problem with the copyright of the videos. To activate the Stories on YouTube, so you need to reach 10.000 subscribers and the latter are automatically unlocked within a month.

I remind you that Stories are a usable tool only from smartphones and tablets: these are, in fact, vertical videos or photos which, after a specific period of time, are automatically deleted from the platform. Unlike Instagram or Facebook, where stories last 24 hours, YouTube lasts 7 days.

Having said that, I would say that we can take action and see, in practice, how to take advantage of this interesting feature.
