TikTok is trialing 30-minute long video uploads for some users in the beta version of its app.
Why we care. Longer videos may provide more opportunities to place ads in the middle of clips, known as mid-roll ads. These mid-roll ads often lead to higher completion and engagement rates.
First look. The new upload option was first spotted by social media consultant, Matt Navarra. He shared a screenshot of the TikTok pop-up notification on his Threads account:
Why now? TikTok’s choice to allow longer video uploads follows Douyin’s move, the Chinese version of TikTok, which extended its upload limit to 30 minutes per clip in 2022 and received a positive response.
Time line. TikTok has regularly increased the maximum duration allowed for each post over the years:
- 15 seconds per clips in 2018.
- 60 seconds per clip in 2019.
- 3 minutes per clip in 2020.
- 5 minutes per clips in 2021.
- 10 minutes per clips in 2022.
- 15 minutes per clip in 2023.
