YouTube Shorts extending its video duration limit....

Extended Video Length

YouTube Shorts now allows videos up to three minutes long, significantly increasing from the previous 60-second limit. This update provides creators with more flexibility for longer storytelling and engaging content.

This update went live on October 15, 2024, but YouTube notes it may take some time for the algorithm and recommendation features to fully integrate these longer videos for optimal visibility and analytics.

Gradual Rollout

YouTube has implemented strict copyright rules for longer Shorts. Videos over 60 seconds cannot include copyrighted music or visuals. Shorts containing such materials may be restricted or removed.

Copyright Limitation

YouTube is updating its editing tools to support longer videos, allowing creators to seamlessly transition to the new format. Additionally, YouTube will enhance its Shorts player for a streamlined look and improved engagement options.

New Tools and Features for Creator

This change positions YouTube Shorts more competitively against platforms like TikTok, which already permits longer videos, expanding YouTube’s ability to attract and retain creators interested in short-form but detailed content.
