YouTube Director

13 04 2006

Well just as soon as the 10 minute upload limit was enabled, there is a way for legitimate uploaders to avoid it. You can now be a Director with YouTube. Here are some of the benefits:

Logo co-branding, company URL, and company description on all of your video pages

Ability to upload videos longer than 10 minutes

Customizable name & value fields for each of your videos (ex: “Price: $4.25″ or “Show Time: 9 pm PST”)

Ability to attach a per-video URL to each of your videos

Finally we see some monitization from YouTube. Hopefully this will allow them to stay afloat and now be down so much. This is going to be a great service for podcasts to host their video podcasts for free as well. The Director program is free, but is subject to YouTube approving your application.
