Instagram Rolls Out 60-Second Video Option for AdvertisersT-Mobile and Warner Bros. have already taken advantage of the new feature.

While most social-media platforms emphasize their commitment to brevity -- Vine's six-second videos, Twitter's 140-character per tweet limit and Snapchat's vanishing messages -- one company is hoping to extend attention spans.

Instagram is rolling out a new feature for advertisers today: an option for minute-long ads. Previously, advertisers had a maximum time limit of 30 seconds to convey their messages, which is double the 15-second limit users have for their videos. Already two companies -- T-Mobile and Warner Bros. -- have taken advantage of this option. While the telecom company uploadedbonus footageof its Super Bowl commercial with Drake to Instagram, the movie studio is promoting the upcoming filmHow To Be Singlewith a minute-long trailer.

Owned by Facebook, Instagram has more than 400 million users to date, offering companies a large, far-reaching, active audience to profit from. It also means that Instagram is offering YouTube competition for advertisers.

Reaction from users has yet to be seen.
