TikTok, one of the world’s largest social media platforms, continues to increase the number of users. The platform, which became popular with 60-second videos during its release, increased the maximum video duration to 3 minutes with the new update made in the past months. Now, TikTok, which has made a new decision, is preparing to make a serious change for video duration.
TikTok, video duration becomes 10 minutes!
According to the statement made by TikTok to Techcrunch, the company aims to increase the maximum video duration to 10 minutes. Thanks to this feature, TikTok will allow its users to watch videos for a longer time. This feature, which has been tried by the company for several months, has started to be offered to some users.
In the statement made by TikTok, it was pointed out that this would increase the interaction of content producers with their followers. In this way, followers will be able to get more detailed information from content producers. In addition, TikTok thinks that this way, content producers will publish more creative content on the platform.
To date, the company has made major changes to video times. At first, the company offered a 15-second timeout. After this period, the maximum video duration was increased to 60 seconds with new updates. In the past months, the time of 1 minute has been increased to 3 minutes. This situation caused a question mark in the minds of some users.
Videos are generally long, especially on platforms such as YouTube, and people who are bored with these long content apply to platforms such as TikTok to learn and have fun in a shorter time. With the new feature, it would not be wrong to say that TikTok can be similar to platforms that share long videos like YouTube.
