YouTube cites the success of its Content ID system as the main reason why it was able to increase its upload limit to 15 minutes. YouTube users can finally have their full 15 minutes of fame.
The video-sharing website announced that it has increased the limit it places on uploads to 15 minutes.
YouTubes original limit was 10 minutes.
"Without question, the number one requested feature by our creators is to upload videos longer than 10 minutes," said product manager Joshua Siegel on YouTube's official blog.
Previously, only YouTube's official partners were allowed to upload videos longer than 10 minutes.
Siegel cited the success of YouTube's Content ID system, which automatically removes copyrighted material from the website, as the reason why they were able to increase the limit.
YouTube was bought by Google in 2006 for $1.65 billion dollars.
The company said in March that 24 hours of video are uploaded to the site every 60 seconds.
