Upload limit increases to 15 minutes for all users
29 Temmuz 2010 Perşembe
We want YouTube to be the best place to upload video. Without question, the number one requested feature by our creators is to upload videos longer than 10 minutes. We’ve heard you, and today we’re pleased to announce that we’ve increased the upload limit to 15 minutes.
We encourage you to take full advantage of this new time limit by making a video of your “
15 minutes of fame
.” Imagine that this video is all the world will ever know about you: what would you want to communicate? What will be the enduring stamp you’ve left on us all? Tag your video with “yt15minutes,” upload it by Wednesday, August 4, and we’ll select a handful of people to truly gain their 15 minutes of fame by featuring them on the YouTube homepage in a future spotlight.
In the meantime, you may wonder “why now?” -- the upload limit for non-partners has been 10 minutes for years. Well, we’ve spent significant resources on creating and improving our state-of-the-art
Content ID
system and many other powerful tools for copyright owners. Now, all of the major U.S. movie studios, music labels and over 1,000 other global partners use Content ID to manage their content on YouTube. Because of the success of these ongoing technological efforts, we are able to increase the upload limit today. We will continue our strong commitment to provide advanced technology and tools to protect the rights of small and large copyright owners worldwide. We’ll also do everything we can to release incremental improvements like this one that benefit our video creators.
One final note: if you’re uploading a video that was previously rejected for being too long, you’ll have to go into “My Videos” and delete it before attempting to upload it again. Thanks and happy uploading!

YouTube Summer School, Session 3: Mathematics
28 Temmuz 2010 Çarşamba
Welcome back, life-long learners! We’re in our third week here at YouTube Summer School and today we’re shifting gears again. After our lovely stroll through the
art
gallery of
YouTube EDU
, we’re headed to the hall of mathematics and will be crunching numbers for the next week.
Ever have any trouble with algebra, geometry, calculus or trig-a-what? For some, putting numbers in their place isn’t as easy as
Captain Picard
makes it look. Sometimes we simply can’t “
make it so
” without a little help. That’s why we’ve scoured through YouTube EDU to find what professors from top universities around the globe are teaching about everything from differential equations to probalistic aggregation studies (try saying that 10 times fast!).
And to review what we covered
last week
, take a minute to test yourself with the following questions. If you know the answers, let us know in the comments below (please note comments are moderated due to spam). We’re on the lookout for our “Grade A” students!
1) What color house did
Frida Kahlo
grow up in?
2)
Malaquias Montoya
, professor of Chicano studies and art history at the University of California in Davis, is known for what item of unique clothing?
3) The
African art exhibit
in the Valparaiso University Brauer Museum is from what century?
Until next week!

Surf video all day long on TV and the Web, then tell your friends about it
28 Temmuz 2010 Çarşamba
As you could probably guess, we're really excited about the imminent launch of Google TV. You can
learn more about this initiative here
, but it’s basically a new way to watch TV by seamlessly integrating the Web and TV into one incredible viewing experience. Soon, you’ll be able to watch a lot more of those beautiful
hi-def YouTube videos
on your beautiful, hi-def TV.
Google TV will initially be available on devices manufactured by Sony and Logitech in the fall, with more partners to be announced later. Logitech has just come up with a nifty idea to publicize their device, the Logitech Revue with Google TV™ -- a contest to find the 'Host with the Most' in one of three fabulous cities within the U.S.
Check out this site
for more details of ‘Host with the Most,’ but the gist is simple: if you can prove that you are a true social influencer with a passion for the new universe of TV and video that Google TV will offer, Logitech may select you to become a Logitech host and pay you to spend time in one of their lofts in New York, Los Angeles or San Francisco. Your mission will be to host a bunch of parties, show off the technology, and spread the word through your social circles. (See Logitech's
OFFICIAL RULES
for eligibility requirements and complete details.) Since nothing goes together better than YouTube and Google TV – and no group is more socially connected than the YouTube community – we thought we’d encourage you all to
nominate
yourselves for the role. We look forward to seeing what cool things the winning hosts will do with the Logitech loft experience – and maybe one of them will be you!

Katy Perry bares all as Lisa Nova asks your top questions
27 Temmuz 2010 Salı
“Did you really kiss a girl?” “Do you ever laugh at the parody videos making fun of you?” “Are you and Russell planning on having kids?”
The call
was to ask Katy Perry anything you wanted, and you responded with a record-breaking 20,500 text and video questions submitted to
Katy’s channel
via
the Moderator tool
. Over 401,600 votes were cast, and YouTube’s own
Lisa Nova
posed the most popular questions to Perry, who was wearing a Latex getup only she could pull off:
Along with this
exclusive 30-minute interview
, which is highlighted on
our homepage
today, you might also want to check out her hit single “
California Gurls
” and a special behind-the-scenes peek from

Life in a Day: Thank you for filming!
24 Temmuz 2010 Cumartesi
On behalf of Ridley Scott, Kevin Macdonald, LG, the Sundance Film Festival and all of us at YouTube, thank you to everyone who took part in “Life in a Day.” Using the footage you shot, Kevin will now begin to build the world’s largest user-generated documentary, capturing what it was like to be alive on July 24, 2010.
Remember that even though filming day is over, you have until July 31 at 11:59 p.m. PST to upload your video to the
Life in a Day channel
. Be sure to subscribe as well, so you can receive directorial updates from the cutting room floor. If your video is selected for inclusion in the final film, you'll be hearing from Life in a Day Films, so be on the lookout for an email.
We'll be in touch again in early January with more details on the film's premiere at Sundance.
Congratulations to everyone.
