So my YouTube account says when I go to upload a video it says that I can now upload videos longer than 15 minutes long. It doesn't say exactly how long though and I haven't been able to find it anywhere, thanks for the help.

I've tested up to 90 minutes, so you can do at least that. I honestly don't think there is a limit though as long as your file is under two gigabytes.

That's good to know, I was wondering how long it was.

I understood that they've improved their copywrite detection tools, hence the upgrade, but a 90min+ limit is really, really awesome.

Not that I'll ever use it, but still!

Yeah, exactly.. I tested it out by doing a couple of longplays. It's pretty sweet because instead of chopping one into say, ten parts, it's all just one long video. The only thing is that my second longplay came out to 4 gigabytes, so I had to do some conversions to get it down in size.

Could someone explain the system about this? On my main YT i can upload long files, but on my newer gaming channel, i can't? What should i do to qualify myself on that channel to get long uploads?

Well, I am rather confused.
I'm uploading videos right now, and it says that
"Videos can be...
High Definition
Up to 2 GB in size.
Up to 15 minutes in length.
A wide variety of formats."
Up to, meaning, not over 15 minutes. How is it that you guys have had 90 minute videos?
Perhaps the Youtube settings have changed since January. :s

New channels

Up to 15 minutes

Older, established channels that are in good standing with Youtube

Moar than 15 minutes.



My channel 'AndsyNF' - Good standing. 15minutes plus.
My new channel 'AndsyHD' - Not approved yet. Less than 15 minutes.

I don't know when / how / why YouTube decides if you're allowed moar than 15 minutes, but you get notified when they do. As far as I'm aware, there's no way to request, or force this.

Also, for people with colelction videos, please note that it's still a good idea to break it into smaller chunks. Alot of people don't wanna sit down and watch a 30min + vid. They'd much rather watch 3 x 10 minute videos!

In short, keep on doing what you guys do, put out good quality vids, YouTUbe will notice and put your limit up.

Be naughty and post copyrighted materials, it'll make Youtube sad :(

As far as I'm aware, game footage doesn't count. However, one of my gameplay clips of the DA2 demo was flagged, but not removed, nor was I warned. :S

Welcome To Warp Zone!

You can actually upload videos larger than 2GB if you use the java uploader, known as Advanced Video Upload. Go to the upload page, and on the right side of the screen there should be an option to for Advanced Video Upload.

Here is the direct link.

Is that without a YouTube partnership? If so that's pretty good of them to offer that much available time for a video, I haven't tested to see if I can upload more than a 15 minute video. I assume my account is in good standing as I haven't had any issues and I created my account in January of 2010.
just keep at it until it's done. not perfect, just done. ~Derek Alexander
