In recent years, the short video trend has skyrocketed and many social media platforms have started to include this content format. Starting with Vine, which was shut down in 2017, the trend was revived with the launch of TikTok.

As the popularity of short videos grew, Instagram and YouTube joined the trend. Recently, however, the platforms have taken steps to increase the duration of short videos from a few seconds to several minutes. Following TikTok and Instagram, YouTube is making a similar move according to the latest information. So how long will YouTube Shorts video length be? Here are the details…

How long will YouTube Shorts be?

YouTube Shorts videos are currently limited to a maximum of 60 seconds, which is considered to be plenty long enough for many creators. However, it seems that there are some who find this insufficient.

The maximum video length for YouTube Shorts will increase to 3 minutes (180 seconds) as of October 15. Google said it has received many requests to increase the maximum content length. It seems that the company did not ignore these requests.

Google is making a few more changes to YouTube Shorts. One of these changes is that the Trends button will be shown at the top when the video is paused. Also, some comments will be shown directly on the screen.
