You check its length, look at it to determine whether or not it’s worth your time, let the thought process until you decide if you play it or not. And once you do play it, how many videos have you abandoned after a few seconds and scroll down to the next posts?     It’s difficult to grab people’s attention nowadays. This is why video marketers are losing patience. Video lengths were diminished to 2 minutes long, and 56% of all videos published last year were this length. But this is not always the case because in other platforms, users expect different lengths. In YouTube, people want to see longer videos. If you fail to customize your videos for each target platform, you don’t fully cater to your audience and this will make their interest to your brand wither away.   To help you better engage your audience in Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, here are simple tips to help you on **how long your marketing videos should be.**   **Instagram: 30 Seconds** It was discovered that videos with 26 seconds in length on Instagram received the most comments.
