Instagram will let you post hour-long videos
Table of contents:
What would we do without Instagram videos? Since its inception, the app has allowed us to post short videos on our profile. This time has increased over the years, and we have gone from the initial 15 seconds to 60 seconds. In addition, now with the option to add a gallery in the same publication, users take the opportunity to lengthen the video by doing different parts. But this is going to end. It seems that the app will be compatible with videos of up to 60 minutes.
That's right, Instagram will support videos of up to 1 hour. Of course, being able to choose the time we want, like 5 minutes, 30, 20 etc. At the moment, we do not know many more details. Although Instagram will likely only allow uploading videos up to 60 minutes to users with a specific number of followers or with some form of verification, such as embedded links on Instagram Stories. On the other hand, these one-hour videos are expected to only be in posts, and not in Instagram stories, which currently allow videos up to 15 seconds, but with an unlimited number of stories.
From a photo social network to a video platform
Although this feature might not eventually become a reality, it could be very, very interesting for the app and its millions and millions of daily active users.The social network belonging to Facebook could even become a video platform like YouTube. Content creators with a large following will take advantage of these long-form videos to include their content on the social network. Although it will also depend on whether Instagram will allow commercial content in these videos Again, it could only be for users who meet certain requirements, such as a certain number of followers.
We will see what the Instagram application holds for us in the coming months. Of course, we will be attentive to the inclusion of videos with a duration of 60 minutes. There is no exact release date, not even an official statement from Instagram.
