` some things .   As a note to anyone who finds and adds this info: anyone who used to be able to upload videos longer than 10m can still do so, according to the YouTube help pages, but it didn't state any of the other info I was looking for.     :This has been covered before (see here in the talk page archive).  One of the footnotes in the article points out: YouTube's help section states: ``You can no longer upload videos longer than ten minutes regardless of what type of account you have. Users who had previously been allowed to upload longer content still retain this ability, so you may occasionally see videos that are longer than ten minutes.`` The ten minute limit was introduced in March 2006 after YouTube realized that the majority of videos over this length were from television shows and films.   It is given as a footnote because the current limit is ten minutes for all users.    ::Actually the current limit is eleven. Me and several other users upload videos between 10 and 11 minutes very often.     :I haven't uploaded any video to YouTube, but I read on Wikitubia forum that directors could (or used to) upload videos 10 mins+. At least, I think so.  ZX   ::OK, probably enough on this thread as it has been covered before.  The ability to upload longer videos is now largely of historical interest, as very few videos on YouTube today are more than ten minutes long.     :I can't understand the debate here! I uploaded a 16 minute video in November 2006. The only thing I needed was to apply to be a director which took a few days. Here's the video if you don't believe me 'Ecuador Photostory' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEUvT8S42p0  —Preceding unsigned comment added by      ::The article does not dwell on this because no new YouTube account allows uploads longer than ten minutes. Users with Director accounts from 2006 would have been able to do this, but the feature has been axed to discourage uploads of films and television shows.     :::I wanna say again that the limit is eleven minutes, not ten. If you don't believe me just check out some of my videos. But be warned, as swearing is my style, don't say I didn't warn you.     ::::This thread is wandering off-topic.  To clarify, the official limit is ten minutes, but it is not unusual to see videos of 10-11 minutes.  The ability to upload very long videos was removed in 2006.    :::::This thread is wandering off-topic.  I apologize, I will stop pointing that out, that's a promise.     :::::10 minutes is not the official limit, that's the officially stated limit.  Its wrong, and this is a consideration that YouTubians, such as myself always use when editing a video.  Its 10 minutes and 59 seconds. The reference for this information is any old 10+ minute video from a new user that you can i
