Many YouTube users have become frustrated at the 10-minute upload limit for videos in recent years. In response to demand, YouTube has now upped the upload time to 15 minutes for all users.

A spokesperson for YouTube said: “We want YouTube to be the best place to upload video. Without question, the number one requested feature by our creators is to upload videos longer than 10 minutes.”

YouTube also reports that it has improved its ContentID system and other tools for copyright owners.

The spokesperson added: “Because of the success of these ongoing technological efforts, we are able to increase the upload limit today. We will continue our strong commitment to provide advanced technology and tools to protect the rights of small and large copyright owners worldwide. We’ll also do everything we can to release incremental improvements like this one that benefit our video creators.”

By the way, if you tag your videos with “yt15minutes” and upload them by August 4, YouTube may select your video to feature on the YouTube home page.
