One of the quick mentions I made in the webinar last week - Introduction to Video Sharing Websites - may be a little nugget for those who have not heard of this before.
YouTube now allows longer videos to be uploaded and shared on your YouTube Channel. In fact, the 15-minute length that is the default
length for all new YouTube Channels, can be increased pretty easily. Once your YouTube Channel has been 'verifyed' you can load videos up to 12 hours in length (but please, spare us from that long of a video!)
Anyone with a YouTube Channel, even a newer Channel, can 'upgrade' to allow longer videos as long as your YouTube account is in good standing and has no Content ID blocks on any content. Basically this means you are not or have not posted any content deemed inappropriate according to the 'Community Guidelines' and that you are in good standing relative to the YouTube copyright policies (you're not using commercial, popular music in your videos).
If that fits you, then you simply need to verify your YouTube account using a mobile phone.Do this by clicking onto the 'Upload videos' page on your YouTube channel and click the link you should see below
You enter your telephone number when prompted and then type in a code provided to your mobile phone. Done... it's really that simple, and then your Upload Page will have a prompt indicating you can now upload longer videos.
