    The time limit for regular users is 15 minutes. If you verify your account by phone (there should be a blue message somewhere in the upload process of a new video) you can upload up to 12 hours. If you are a full youtube partner you could theoretically upload up to infinite lengths if you can keep it below 20GB.

    There is a time limit for 15:00 Minutes. If you want to upload longer videos. if your account has a good status over a period of time, no copyright strikes etc then your limit is automatically increased. you will receive a message about this once its done. i dont know what the new time limit is, but you can upload Very long videos. (some people can even upload whole movies, but then again keep in mind that you are not infringing someones copyrights )

    You can upload only 15 minutes videos if you didn't verified your account, if you can call it that way.

    To increase the limits simply click on "upload video" and you'll see in the center of the screen: "Upload HD videos in various formats up to 15 minutes" with a link to increase the limit.

    Can I upload a 30 second video on YouTube

  • How do you think about the answers? You can sign in to vote the answer.
  • To upload videos longer than 15 minutes you need to have them send your phone a text that contains a code, you then enter it on the site. I don't know where the option is, i think on the page that comes up when you press upload.

    It may have changed, but it used to be 10 minutes on a standard account, and you needed a directors or producers account for longer videos.
