YouTube: What's the space limit?

I was recently looking into my youtube account over here. Trying to figure out how much space my account has used. I don't do a lot of video uploads onto it. unless it is something like model trains or something that I may have taken a small video about it. I was wondering if anyone else who has a youtube account. If there is anything in the settings or in like the account information that can show how much space is still available. Or is it tied into with my gmail account?

I might be totally wrong, but gmail and youtube are 2 separate entities, meaning the space used by one doesn't effect the other, and I think youtube is unlimited uploads, I mean look at Chris, 5,000 videos, and gmail its the what ever size storage it has

0	Youtube videos are only limited per video. Some are limited to a maximum length of 15 minutes, but that can be lifted, and 20 GBs. answered Aug 22 '12 at 21:32 avrgboy 1.6k●141●153●183

0	The amount of videos and length (for new accounts, no) is unlimited but I think there is a cap per video. Gmail give you 1GB answered Aug 22 '12 at 21:55 Cameron 1.8k●103●127●134 Gmail gives you 7 to 10GB of space as far as I know. I have 10GB. (Aug 24 '12 at 07:06) RafalChmiel

Okay cuas ei Was wondering if I ever decide to start combining video's together like with Imovie. or something similar on the windows machine I was just curious to know roughly the limit. I have seen others on youtube that had about like an hour or so clips there. And was wondering if they were just limited to a particular size or a maximum. I know it is an oddball question. So far for myself the videos that I had put up were no larger than about 50 megs each which is like a sneeze in the park these days in comparison to the longer length films.

Oh, I thought you meant like # or total size of your videos...

@avrgboy that only applies to Youtube Partners. If you're not a partner you're limited to 15 minutes max and 2Gb I believe (though I may be wrong about the file size)

No worries. It was something I was wondering I had siged up in 2007 to youtube over here. And never had seen the size and all that when signing up at that time.I figured to asked someone who may have done some on theirs and knew off hand the size for uploading files. I'll see what I can do over here when making some small videos.

For new users the cap is 15 minutes, or a few GB for a video. For the next level Youtube users, the cap is 10 Hours, BUT the video can't be over 20GB. Which, is actually a lot.

There is no limit to how much you can upload to youtube, but the LIMIT is whatever your Internet provider will let you. For a lot of users, it might be about 100GB per month, or something. Meaning that us how much memory you can use in a month. If you were to upload loads of videos, with a regular internet plan, you will be getting a call from them, saying you are getting close, to reaching your cap. If you go over the first time, its a warning.

Then the second time, I think they will charge you a lot of money.

I know al about the bandwidth usage for the ISP I used to work for one. I was just general curious if anyone else knew for youtube. Since I never had seen it since I have been using it here and there since 2007.
