Instagram "Stories" will support uploading up to 60 seconds of video at a time

Instagram recently began testing a major change to its Stories platform, which allows users to post photos and short videos and keep them live for 24 hours. The social network hopes to increase the maximum length of videos on Stories to 60 seconds in another attempt to beat Snapchat and TikTok.

The social network's app is now notifying some users about the change. Currently, if you record or upload a video longer than 15 seconds, it will automatically be split into multiple different stories.

However, with this new change, users will be able to post videos up to 60 seconds long on Stories without having to split them up.

Extending the video length to 60 seconds could definitely add a new dimension to the Stories experience. It's cool to see how social media platforms like Instagram are constantly evolving to keep up with the ever-changing landscape. Wonder if this change will bring even more creative content to the SMM world and how it might impact the competition with Snapchat and TikTok. Can't wait to see how users make the most of this extended format!
