New opportunities for YouTube shorts: up to 3 minutes in length from October 2024
YouTube is expanding the scope for creators. From October 15, 2024, YouTube shorts can be up to 3 minutes long. This change brings new monetization opportunities and fundamentally changes the use of the platform.
From 15 October 2024, YouTube will be opening up new opportunities for the creation and monetization of short videos. Creators will then be able to upload videos up to 3 minutes long in shorts format - in both square and vertical format, usable via the YouTube Studio app or desktop.
Important to note: Shorts that were uploaded before this date remain unchanged and monetize via Watch Page Ads, provided the creator is already part of the YouTube Partner Program. New videos in the 1 to 3-minute format will soon also be monetized via Shorts Ads and count towards the requirements for partner program qualification.
It will take a few weeks until these longer shorts are visible on all YouTube interfaces, according to a corresponding message from YouTube to the Creators Community. This means that there may be a delay before new videos are displayed as shorts in the channel and recorded in YouTube Analytics.
Particular attention should be paid to the use of music and visually protected content in longer shorts. If copyrighted material is included, the video will be blocked. However, this does not result in any penalties, and creators can remove the protected material to make the video accessible again.
