TikTok is testing a 60-minute video upload feature.
TikTok has confirmed that it is testing a feature that will allow select users to download 60-minute videos. However, this new feature is currently available to a limited number of users. There is no word yet on when it will be available to all users.
This move by TikTok signals important changes on the platform. Known for its short vertical videos, TikTok now appears to be turning to longer content to compete with YouTube. Longer videos open up new creative avenues by allowing creators to convey more detailed information, tell stories, or create vlog-style content. This allows content producers not only to limit themselves to short and quickly consumed content, but also to reach the audience with more comprehensive and detailed videos.
