However, it doesn’t affect the long video streams because other topics need the long video size so almost every Tik Tok User has also had a YouTube Channel. By caring about it, Tik Tok is looking to prevent others from reaching out to other platforms and that’s why Tik Tok is testing the 30-minute-long video features.
Currently, this feature is in progress. Within a few months, it can be live for its users. But after that, the thing to be seen is how it affects YouTube and YouTubers. Because Tik Tok allows these features it might seen that who want to post long videos, don’t have to reach out from there, they can post long videos on their existing Tik Tok Profile.
