China’s video-based social media, TikTok, is slowly increasing its video release time despite its popularity around the world with the opportunity to create and share small videos. Gadgets Now reported that this time is going to be increased from 10 minutes to 15 minutes.
Recently, the functionality of this facility is being tested on specific users, according to the technology website TechCrunch. According to TikTok authorities, currently the platform is going to launch the opportunity to publish videos of a maximum size of 10 minutes, but soon the platform is going to launch the opportunity to publish large videos. Currently, users taking part in the test are currently allowed to publish videos of 15 minutes length instead of 10 minutes. When this new feature is launched, users of the TikTok app as well as the web version will also be able to publish large videos.
TikTok started its journey in 2016 with the opportunity to publish short videos. Initially, videos of 15 seconds length were published, but the platform gradually increased the publication time. In February last year, they introduced the possibility of publishing a maximum of 10 minutes of video. TikTok is slowly becoming a competitor to YouTube due to increasing the time of regular video release.
