Uploading videos to YouTube sometimes seemed quite troublesome if your video is pretty long, as there’s a 15-minute time length restriction imposed, unless you have an account that’s unique, like a partner of YouTube or directors/editors accounts. But now YouTube will be slowly expanding to allow more people to upload longer videos.

Joshua Siegel, a product manager at YouTube told The New York Times that the company now has copyright issues under control via ContentID, which scans roughly 100 years’ worth of uploaded video per day in an attempt to fend off violations. There’s no word on when the time limit will be further lifted, but sooner or later you’ll get it.
