YouTube has caved in and increased its uploaded video length limit, one of the most requested changes to the Google-owned video-sharing service.
“Without question, the number one requested feature by our creators is to upload videos longer than 10 minutes. We’ve heard you, and today we’re pleased to announce that we’ve increased the upload limit to 15 minutes,” said Joshua Siegel, YouTube’s project manager, in an official blog post on the website.
The length of uploaded YouTube videos is restricted due to the amount of copyrighted material that the website has to combat. The concern for the limit has decreased as Google has improved YouTube’s Content ID system, which will automatically flag copyrighted content.
TG Daily commented on the fact that even though YouTube’s video length has increased, the max file size limit remains the same. So videos can be 15 seconds, but still have to remain under 100 MB in size.
