Video Title length

[mattdinbrooklyn]

Hi, I was wondering if there is a limit that anyone puts on Video Titles or descriptions? This is for video that is hosted on our server and not on Youtube.

Well, testing is the best way.

But if you want your video to show up in the serps (which almost never happens anymore) you can limit yourself to 55 characters. (the lenght of the title tag). If you focus on Bing go for 45.

But any other motivation based on your own platform is OK as wel.

If you consider the amount of characters that is read on twitter (the first 45) you could try to limit it to that (be concrete for your customers)
