YouTube Shorts Video Safe Area Overlay & Layout Dimensions

YouTube Shorts have grown into a major driver of mobile video traffic. However, their interface overlays are notoriously cluttered, especially on small screens. The right-hand navigation features a channel logo, like/dislike buttons, comment bubble, share, and remix icons, while the bottom contains the title, channel handler, and subscription buttons.

Safe Zone Coordinate Specs

For a standard 1080×1920 vertical format layout, adhere to these margins to avoid interface obstructions:

• Top Margin: Keep the top 150px clear (interferes with system header and search controls).
• Right Margin: Keep the right 240px clear of critical buttons and graphical targets.
• Bottom Margin: Leave the bottom 450px clear of titles, subtitles, and logos. The channel handler and subscribe button occupy this block and are opaque.
