YouTube Shorts
YouTube is a very popular and the most trending video sharing site, but you can only post long-lasting videos on YouTube. YouTube launched its own short video site under the name YouTube Shorts in September 2020.
YouTube Shorts are vertical videos of up to a length of 60 seconds. In addition to showing them on your channel, the Shorts shelf is visible on the homepage. Along with it, viewers can also find these short-form videos in all-new vertical angle-views.
Apart from app this, the best thing which makes YouTube shorts stand as the best is the copyright issue. It allows its creators to use any audio/music to make their own shorts and no copyright issue would occur.
Reels By Instagram
Instagram Reels offer a forum for you to make fun videos on Instagram that you can share with anyone. With audio, effects, and new creative tools, you can capture and edit 30-second multi-clip videos easily on Reels.
On Feed, one can also share reels with your Insta-fam and, if you have a public account, make them accessible through a new space in the Explore tab for the broader Instagram community.
Instagram Reels is not similar to TikTok, but like TikTok, it also offers several features. For example, Quick videos (less than 1 minute) can be shot and shared with your followers. Although initially, Instagram was just popular for photo sharing, now along with it people can share both long IGTV videos & short videos “Reels”.
Facebook Short Videos
Facebook has also introduced its own short video feature, simply called Short Videos. It is the Facebook app’s built-in feature that appears automatically on Facebook users’ screens. Facebook Short Videos is only accessible for users of the app; it is not available on Facebook’s lite and browser versions.
Chingari 
Chingari was the first short video app in India to be released after TikTok was banned. It is an Indian video-sharing social networking site established by Bangalore’s Sumit Ghosh & Biswatma Nayak. You can make a short video with the Chingari app and share it with your friends, loved ones in a single tap.
You can find videos along with the trending news, entertainment, funny videos, love status, and many more.
