TikTok Explores Longer Video Uploads to Rival YouTube

TikTok is testing the ability for select users to upload 15-minute videos, expanding the video upload limit from 10 minutes. The move puts TikTok in direct competition with YouTube, as the platform aims to attract longer-form video creators. While TikTok initially gained fame for short-form content, it has been embracing longer videos in recent years. The expanded time limit gives creators more flexibility and eliminates the need for video series. However, not everyone may welcome the change, as TikTok is known for short and entertaining videos. TikTok has not announced if or when the change will be rolled out to all users.

Twitter Blue's New Video Feature Raises Concerns Over Piracy.

Twitter Blue subscribers can now upload videos up to two hours long with a file size of 8GB or smaller, while non-Blue subscribers are still limited to 140-second videos. The longer video uploads are only available on the web or iOS, not on Android. Twitter is also adding other features to its subscription service, including a blue verified checkmark, encrypted messages, and the ability to edit tweets. Some users have already attempted to upload full-length movies, such as Shrek the Third, but these videos have been taken down.
