YouTube has announced it will test a beta version of its new TikTok rival in India.
YouTube Shorts will limit videos to 15 seconds, and the platform will feature creator tools that are similar to Chinese-owned TikTok's.
India banned TikTok and 58 other Chinese apps in June as border tensions rose between the two countries.
At the time, India was TikTok's biggest foreign market, with an estimated 120 million users.
YouTube will also be in competition with a number of local competitors who have rushed in to fill the void after TikTok's ban in India.
