Meta is currently actively discouraging creators from uploading Reels longer than 90 seconds. It seems there is not much interest in super long videos in the stream.<\/p>\n<p>But at the same time TikTok wants to expand its platform and become a bigger facilitator of entertainment, will they compete with YouTube?<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, TikTok also launched a program that allowed creators to put longer videos in landscape format, so there is clearly some drive from the company to make this shift and the idea seems to be there to change the content people view in the app.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n                                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/sentimental.lijm.amsterdam\/team\/#contact-us\" class=\"btn btn__border__blue__green icon_btn mt-1 mb-3\" target=\"_blank\">Please contact us<\/a>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"block block-image-text-small mt-sm-2  mt-5 mt-lg-8\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            <div class=\"col-12 col-lg-10 mx-auto\">\n                <div class=\"row\">\n                    <div class=\"col-md-7\">\n                        <h2>Competition<\/h2>\n                        <div class=\"full-text\">\n                            <p><p>Perhaps with this, TikTok will compete with YouTube. The Chinese version of the app, called Douyin, already uses this option to upload 60-minute-long videos. Perhaps the numbers there are so good that TikTok wants to follow the same path.<\/p>\n<p>Longer videos offer more opportunities for advertisers, as you can insert both pre- and intermediate ads, and right now TikTok is still limited in its earning potential.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps that is the main motivation then, to become equivalent to other platforms so that creators can build their home base in the app, rather than using TikTok as a supplementary channel.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.socialmediatoday.com\/news\/tiktok-60-minute-video-uploads\/716399\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Social Media Today<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n                                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/sentimental.lijm.amsterdam\/team\/#contact-us\" class=\"btn btn__border__blue__green icon_btn mt-1 mb-3\" target=\"_blank\">Need help with TikTok?<\/a>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"col-md-4 offset-md-1 position-relative\">\n                        <div class=\"img-wrapper\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sentimental.lijm.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/TikTok-blog.004-e1716459192478.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\">\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<style>\n    .btn-read-more,\n    .btn-read-less {\n        text-decoration: underline;\n    }\n\n    .block-image-text-small .row {\n        flex-direction: row-reverse;\n    }\n\n    .block-image-text-small .col-md-4 {\n        position: static;\n    }\n\n    .block-image-text-small .img-wrapper {\n        position: absolute;\n        top: 0;\n        right: 0;\n        bottom: 0;\n        left: 0;\n        display: flex;\n        align-items: center;\n        justify-content: center;\n    }\n\n    .block-image-text-small img {\n        max-width: 100%;\n        max-height: 100%;\n    }\n<\/style><div class=\"block block-image-text-small mt-sm-2  mt-5 mt-lg-8\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            <div class=\"col-12 col-lg-10 mx-auto\">\n                <div class=\"row\">\n                    <div class=\"col-md-4  position-relative\">\n                        <div class=\"img-wrapper\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sentimental.lijm.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/TikTok-blog.001-e1714551118851.jpeg\" alt=\"Lijm Amsterdam | Social Bureau\" title=\"\">\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"col-md-7 offset-md-1\">\n                        <h2>Please contact us<\/h2>\n                        <div class=\"full-text\">\n                            <p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to know how the latest trends can best be used for your brand? <a href=\"https:\/\/sentimental.lijm.amsterdam\/en\/our-team\/#contact-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact<\/a> us today and find out how we can help you integrate this potential new trend into your marketing strategy! \ud83d\ude80<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n                                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/sentimental.lijm.amsterdam\/team\/#contact-us\" class=\"btn btn__border__blue__green icon_btn mt-1 mb-3\" target=\"_blank\">We will help you further<\/a>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":15862,"parent":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-15872","blogs","type-blogs","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sentimental.lijm.amsterdam\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blogs\/15872","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sentimental.lijm.amsterdam\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blogs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sentimental.lijm.amsterdam\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/blogs"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sentimental.lijm.amsterdam\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sentimental.lijm.amsterdam\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
