With the development of computer technology, people spend an increasing time online surfing interesting things. Since there are a lot of attractive videos, photos, and words on the Internet, a man doesn’t have much patience for a long video.
Therefore, a short video is the trend of modern social network service (SNS). So, many famous social media support users to create short-form videos and upload them to their platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and Twitch.
TikTok 10 Minutes Video
Yet, it’s hard to make money from short-form videos, because you can’t insert pre or mid-roll ads into such short videos. This is also the cause of the shutdown of Twitter Vine.
Being aware of that and aware of other apps’ potential to provide direct monetization, TikTok has decided to bring a 10-minutes video to its platform, which has been confirmed officially. Tik Tok 10 minutes video is a great expansion compared with the current 5 minutes, 3 minutes, 60 seconds, and 15 seconds.

# TikTok’s Confirmation to TechCrunch
We’re always thinking about new ways to bring value to our community and enrich the TikTok experience. Last year, we introduced longer videos, giving our community more time to create and be entertained on TikTok. Today, we’re excited to start rolling out the ability to upload videos that are up to 10 minutes, which we hope would unleash even more creative possibilities for our creators around the world.
That previous extension to longer videos came in August 2021, with users being able to upload 5-minute long clips.
10 Minutes of Tiktok Cringe – Will It Work?
Since TikTok is specialized in short and pithy memes and videos, will its 10-minute video in For You’ Feed gain popularity?
TikTok already has longer live streams that have not yet caused any engagement problems. Also, some creators can post longer videos for some time. Besides, the Chinese version of TikTok (“Douyin”) has adopted 15-minute uploads for all users since 2019.
Therefore, TikTok doesn’t come up with the 10-minute video idea blindly without considering the potential impact on users’ interests, behaviors, and responses.
However, longer videos can also bring problems. In addition to the difficulty to grab an audience that lacks patience, more content legality and morality disputes will come into being. That is why TikTok plans to take a staged approach to the rollout of the TikTok 10 minutes video.
Will a 10-minute-long video really work and increase the revenue of TikTok? Time will tell. Maybe it will bring Tiktok into the next phase, both income and user growth. Maybe it won’t like Vine. Let’s wait and see!
How to Get 10 Minutes on TikTok?
When the ten-minute video finally becomes available, you can refer to the following steps (similar to creating videos of 15s/60s/3m/5m) to have a try.
- Launch TikTok (with your account signed in) and tap the Record button at the bottom.
- Then, the video duration options will appear showing 10m, 5m, 3m, 60s, and 15s.
- Select the 10m option and start your recording.
When choosing the 10m option, it doesn’t mean you have to create a video of 10 minutes but you are allowed to record up to 10M-video.
