DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.shortvideo Domain Names

Application disclosed; not delegated

The.shortvideo extension is associated with short-form video themes and appears in public application-related materials from the current ICANN new gTLD round. Publicly announced information identifies Journey To The West Corporation as the applicant associated with.shortvideo. ICANN has said the 2026 round application window is open and that Reveal Day will publish the strings that passed administrative check, so.shortvideo should be treated as an applied-for extension rather than a live delegated TLD at this stage.
