HBO Max embraces vertical video with a new ‘Shorts’ feed

HBO Max has introduced a new 'Shorts' feed featuring vertical video content, similar to TikTok and Instagram Reels, aimed at improving content discovery for users. The feature includes personalized clips based on viewing history and utilizes AI to identify compelling scenes from its extensive library. Additionally, HBO Max is testing an AI-powered conversational search function that allows users to input natural language queries for tailored recommendations. The updates are currently available to select Android users in the U.S., with plans for broader rollout. Other streaming services such as Netflix, Disney+, and Peacock have already implemented similar features.
