YouTube will let you fill Shorts with music.

YouTube is rolling out the ability to add longer songs and sounds to its up-to-60-second Shorts. While you used to be limited to 15-second snippets, you can now use up to 60-second clips from “most songs in its audio library,” according to TechCrunch.

The change also applies if you’re trying to use original sounds from other videos and Shorts.
