How Long Can YouTube Shorts Be?

[markshelton]

I’m a bit confused about the current time limit for YouTube Shorts. Has the maximum length changed recently, and what duration works best for visibility and engagement? Any guidance or tips would be appreciated.

YouTube‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ Shorts have a time limit of 60 seconds, however, a shorter video (about 7-30 seconds) typically gets more views since it attracts viewers and is most likely to be watched till the ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌end.

YouTube shorts may last up to 60 seconds and creators can upload short-form, vertical videos to entertain in a brief period and watch on the phone.

YouTube Shorts can be up to 60 seconds long. Videos longer than 60 seconds won’t qualify as Shorts.

YouTube Shorts have a maximum duration of 60 seconds. Videos that are more than sixty seconds will not be considered shorts.

YouTube Shorts can be up to sixty seconds long. Videos must be vertical and under sixty seconds to qualify as Shorts. This short format is designed for quick, engaging clips that viewers watch on mobile devices in a vertical orientation.
