TikTok is allowing select users to upload longer-form videos as the social media app looks to compete with YouTube.
TikTok is testing letting users upload videos that are 60 minutes long as it experiments with longer form content.The feature is in a trial phase, and only a small number of randomly selected users have access to it, TikTok told CBS MoneyWatch. The company added that it has no immediate plans to roll the capability out more widely to its community, noting that it routinely experiments with features that do not become permanent.
But the company, which is owned by ByteDance, has since extended their durations and currently lets all users upload videos that are as long as 10 minutes.In 2021, TikTok started letting users post videos that were longer than 60 seconds each. 'With longer videos, creators will have the canvas to create new or expanded types of content on TikTok, with the flexibility of a bit more space,' the company said in a blog post at the time.
