Hello! To upload videos on YouTube that are longer than 1 hour, you need to meet certain requirements. Here's what you can do:
1. Verify your account: Make sure your YouTube account is verified by providing a phone number. This is usually required for accounts that are new or have not previously uploaded long videos.
2. Increase your upload limit: By default, YouTube allows users to upload videos up to 15 minutes in length. To increase this limit, you need to either establish a good reputation on YouTube or verify your account as mentioned above.
3. Apply for longer video upload privileges: Once your account is in good standing and verified, you can apply for longer video upload privileges. Visit the YouTube Help Center and search for "longer videos" to find the relevant support page. There, you will find instructions on how to request an increase in your upload limit.
4. Wait for approval: Once you've submitted your request, YouTube will review it and decide whether to grant you the ability to upload videos longer than 15 minutes. This process may take some time, so be patient.
It's important to note that even if you are granted the ability to upload videos longer than 1 hour, there are still limits on the file size you can upload. For example, you may not be able to upload a large movie file in a single upload. In this case, you might need to split the movie into smaller parts and upload them separately.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
