Good News For Normal Users:
In recent developments, YouTube has started rolling out a new feature to normal YouTube users, where-in people who abide by the rules(hopefully) get the opportunity to upload videos longer than 15 minutes.
To know, if your account has been enabled to upload videos longer than 15 minutes: log into your YouTube account and hit on the Upload button. Now at the top, you should see this message, if your account has been enabled:
Congratulations! Your account is now enabled for uploads longer than 15 minutes. Click the Upload button below to select a video.
if not, then you need to follow all the rules and wait some more time.
YouTube Promoted Videos
Another new thing added is, a link to YouTube Promoted Videos section, where you can promote any of your videos to target audience and pay only when people click on your videos. Well, this is a old thing for people who are familiar with YouTube advertising. But for those who had no clue about the videos that were displayed in the right hand side of their YouTube homepage, will now come to know that they are promoted videos! Every user has a link in their profile’s “Account Settings” to promote their videos now, making it more transparent.
Is this feature enabled to your YouTube account? What’s the maximum length video you have ever uploaded to YouTube so far. If enabled, what kind of videos you intend to upload?
Wow goodie. I was uploading a 12 minute video but then did not because we couldnt upload more than 10 minute but this news is a life saviour 😀
Thank you very much 🙂
@Salman, The present upload limit for all normal users is 15 minutes, so your 12 minutes video will work fine.
Nice to know that this post helped you in someway!
That’s a great move by YouTube. Expect to see better quality videos with this!
