YouTube increases video length from 10 mins to 15 mins

Dear Readers,

It's a happy news for us today from Google. It's not only for you it's 100% for me atleast. I am a frequent up-loader in YouTube. In-case If i goto any get together or to any birthday function i am a default photographer and i will convert into video finally into YouTube :). As i love that i will take that responsibility in all those functions.

Now it's not only the challenge for me but for all other users who upload their videos into YouTube. Yes the challenge is to fit the video for 10 mins of length. The moment you think of uploading any video into YouTube the first item that struck in our mind is about cropping the video into 10 mins of its length.

The happy news is from now the video length is increased from 10 mins to 15 mins. Wow!!! We always love you Google. It was been for many years that the video length was for 10 mins hence Google had a work around and the experiment was successfully resulted in increasing the length of video from 10 mins to 15 mins. We wish we will get more lengthy uploading in another short period of time :).

Please be advised that  if you’re trying to upload any video that was rejected in the past for being too long then you need to goto "My Videos" and delete that video before you attempt to upload that video. Happy Uploading!!!

  1. Hi,
    Nice to see your posts. I accept this post. But while am surfing youtube i came across to see a afghanistan film named 'At five in the afternoon' which runs for about 1hour 41 min. and 33 sec. How come this possible? Even when i tried to upload my video i cant upload a video that runs more than 15 minutes. Since from your posts i understood that you are a net savvy i propose this quest to you.

  2. @alagusen,
    Thanks for your comment! As per my understanding and research YouTube allows only for 15 mins length for normal users. There is an option like Directors with your login type. If you use that we are allowed to load the videos >15 mins.

    There is also a partnership program available in youtube. You may also try it out.

    I also see the below information from Google support site.
