Can YouTube Shorts be More Than a minute?
YouTube is rolling out a new feature that will extend its existing limit of uploading videos to only 60 seconds. This is great news for content creators and audiences alike, as the earlier limit restricted learning from Shorts longer than a minute and hence could only be consumed in parts. However, since this is a gradual process, they have commented that one could still upload vertical videos (9:16 ratio), which would be counted as Shorts. But there is a catch! Read below to find out how exactly to do this.

1. Open the YouTube app on your mobile and go to upload screen.
