The HBO Max mobile app now has short-form videos, just like TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and all the rest. HBO Max Shorts feature scenes from the company's vast library, but also include trailers and bonus content. HBO Max is just the latest streamer to jump in on the short-form video craze. The platform is also introducing a "conversational search experience" that lets people use natural language to ask questions about content. HBO Max says this can be used to ask for the "best movie for a girls night in" or for a "dysfunctional family drama."
