Hi,
Is there a way of showing a video that is longer than 30 seconds in Google Maps?
…I know there is, but I don’t know how its made.

Hi @Pembry thank you for reaching out. I am glad that you know the rules as stated here Tips for making great videos. What I know is that if you upload a video that is greater than 30 seconds the video will be uploaded but when you play it, it will only play 30 seconds. I hope this will answer your question. Cheers!
Hello @Pembry
I came across an old post discussing how one user could upload a thirteen minutes duration video. Though there wasn’t any clarification on that, it appears that there are workarounds to bypass the accepted limit.
Nevertheless, using any such workaround is never advisable as that may attract a moratorium on the account!
Hi @C_T
Thanks for the reply. First, I’m not looking for a grey zone or anything.
But the fact that there are videos out there that are longer than 30sec and they have been done by professionals, no hacker stuff. My theory is that they perhaps were made before a change in the criteria for videos. That would be nice to know if that is the case. If so I don’t need to spend more time on the issue.
If you look at the location for this post there’s a Bakeri called “Magnus Johansson Bageri & Konditori” in Stockholm. They have a cool video 2.x minutes long. 8422+RV Stockholm

Hi @Raphael-Mahumane
Hey! Thanks for the tip.
Cheers
Hi @Pembry it might be possible that these videos were there before the rule as you mentioned but I am not sure with that, my another guess is that these videos might have been uploaded by business owner trough their GMB or Google My Business account since it normally have more control than the general local guide account, we will have to confirm this from others here, please stick around while we involve other Mooderators to assist. Cheers!
Hi, Great please do.
And I wasn’t aware that you could post videos from the GMB account.
Cheers
