What is the maximum length of a standard Snapchat video snap?

The maximum length of a standard Snapchat video snap is 60 seconds.

Snapchat originally limited recorded video Snaps to 10 seconds. A later update expanded the recording limit to 60 seconds, giving users more room to capture an event, reaction, or short piece of storytelling without sending a full-length video.

The 60-second limit does not mean Snapchat treats the recording as one uninterrupted traditional clip. The app can divide longer recordings into 10-second segments, especially in parts of the interface that preserve Snapchat's original short-Snap structure. The full sequence may still play as a continuous recording.

This limit is often confused with the length of videos that can be uploaded to Stories or shared from a device. Those formats and features can have different rules, and Snapchat has changed video handling over time. In quiz terms, however, the standard recorded video Snap limit is 60 seconds—not 10, 15, or 30 seconds.
