In 2018, YouTube started testing a new feature initially called "YouTube Reels".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://econsultancy.com/what-is-youtube-stories-will-it-catch-on/ |title=What is YouTube Stories and will it catch on? |website=EConsultancy |last1=Gilliland |first1=Nikki |date=December 5, 2018 |access-date=October 14, 2020}}</ref> The feature is nearly identical to [[Instagram Stories]] and [[Snapchat#Stories and Discover|Snapchat Stories]]. YouTube later renamed the feature "YouTube Stories". It is only available to creators who have more than 10,000 subscribers and can only be posted/seen in the YouTube mobile app.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://creatoracademy.youtube.com/page/course/express-with-stories |title=Express yourself with Stories |website=Creator Academy |via=YouTube |date=November 25, 2019 |access-date=October 14, 2020}}</ref> On May 25, 2023, YouTube announced that it would be shutting down this feature on June 26, 2023.<ref name="Google Help">{{cite web |title=YouTube Stories are Going Away on 6/26/2023 – YouTube Community |website=Google Help |url=https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/217640760 |access-date=May 26, 2023}}</ref><ref name="Amadeo 2023">{{cite web |last=Amadeo |first=Ron |title=YouTube Stories, Google's clone of Snapchat, is dying on June 26 |website=Ars Technica |date=May 25, 2023 |url=https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/05/youtube-is-killing-off-youtube-stories-its-snapchat-clone/ |access-date=May 26, 2023}}</ref>
