By: Sydney Nelson One of the largest trends in social media today is the creation of “Stories”, which is a feature that compiles a slideshow of the things you have done throughout any given day. This trend began with Snapchat and brought huge success. Instagram quickly hopped on the bandwagon and made a feature on their app also called “Stories”. YouTube wasn’t so quick to act, however last week on November 29th, they announced that they will now be launching “Reels”. YouTube’s senior product manager, Roy Livne, claimed that “Reels” will essentially be the same thing as “Stories”, however they will be designed specifically for YouTube creators. Reels are unique to YouTube because they will be available to view beyond the 24 hour time limit, unlike the Snapchat and Instagram feature. Reels will also link YouTube videos and “YouTube-y” stickers to “Stories.” After Snapchat and Instagram had huge successes, YouTube is also expecting Reels to become a huge hit.
