YouTube is expanding its Shorts feature by increasing the maximum length of Shorts videos from 60 seconds to 3 minutes, beginning on October 15th, 2024. The update will allow creators to upload longer Shorts, which will be eligible for monetization through ads revenue sharing if they are part of the YouTube Partner Program. The update will also impact how longer Shorts are discovered and displayed on YouTube, with features like channel pages and recommendations taking a few weeks to adjust. While creators can now upload longer Shorts, it is important to note that using copyrighted music or visual content in Shorts exceeding 60 seconds will result in the video being blocked.
