I have done several Instagram Reels, but never done a Youtube Short. Which one do you feel can increase your growth on YT? Or is each to there own and Reels will grow Insta and Shorts YT?

Creators can stop and start recording videos with a tap. While videos uploaded to YouTube Shorts can be up to 60 seconds, short videos recorded on the YouTube app itself can only be a maximum of 15 seconds, whereas Instagram Reels feature a maximum video length of 30 seconds for both recorded and uploaded videos

I have an Instagram channel and I'm finding they don't deliver much. Now on Youtube it seems to be better and if you have a good video you have a very big chance of going viral.

The YouTube app is perfect for recording short, quick videos. You can make up to 60 second clips that are easy enough with just one tap on your phone screen! But if you want something longer than 15 seconds or Uploaded content onto Google's site then don't worry because Instagram Reels allow both types of recordings at 30-second maximums

You know what? If you make any reel, post it on all platforms. You will get noticed in one of those platforms. Then try to direct your followers towards YouTube. In all the ways, you are getting the promotion. Hence, YouTube growth.

You should try both the platforms. After posting several reels and YT shorts, just analyse results of both platforms. Social media platform selection is based on your product/service/content. So choose accordingly. Good luck!

Exactly my thinking. And add TikTok to the list while you're at it.

Why not do both ! When I create my videos, I then use my phone to create a 'short' from it. If you make the beginning part of your YouTube video entertaining and that it grabs your audience attention, then you can use it as your short, so make start of your video's first 60secs interesting and then you can edit what part of that 60's you use for your short.

I find my shorts get much more views then my main video, and looking at the analytics, it can often get me a few new subscribers directed to my channel page.

Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts are both popular short-form video platforms, each with its own unique features and audience.
