Shorts 101

Rumble Shorts is Rumble’s home for short-form video. Short, vertical videos play in a continuous, swipeable feed, creating a fast, engaging way to watch. A dedicated Shorts feed and channel tab make it a distinct destination within Rumble. Viewers can easily follow creators and send Tips through Rumble Wallet, fueling growth and monetization. Rumble Shorts delivers the short‑form experience audiences expect—while staying true to Rumble’s free‑speech mission and amplifying creator discovery.

Why should I post Shorts on Rumble?

1
Low‑lift creation

Repurpose what you already make. Bring the short‑form clips you create for other platforms over to Rumble to get more reach.

2
Discovery

Shorts have a dedicated, personalized feed to get you in front of new viewers.

3
Gateway to deeper content

Use Shorts to tease longer videos, promote lives, or spotlight your channel, turning quick views into returning followers.

4
Monetization

Shorts display your Tip button*, so bite‑sized content can generate support from your audience.

How Shorts Work

  • Upload like you always do; there is no separate Shorts upload flow.

  • A video automatically becomes a Short if it is 90 seconds or less and has a 1:1 or taller aspect ratio (square or vertical).

  • On your channel page, Shorts will be separated from other uploads, keeping your regular content organized. 

  • Thumbnails for Shorts use a random frame of the video; custom thumbnails are not yet used for Shorts.

  • When a Short ends, it loops until the viewer swipes to the next video.
