How long should a Let's Play be?

[PakZoric]

How much time is it until a video is too short to be an average let's play? How much time until a video is too long to be a let's play? We know there are some let's plays that are about an hour or 2 long, but those are usually specials or something. How long are the let's plays you guys usually watch if you do? How long would you prefer a let's play to be?

Please reply with your answer!

Thanks for reading! Peace!

It depends, but I tried to keep my videos around 10 - 20 mins long. That's just me though. xD

I feel like this answer is far to reliant on the content

I usually shoot for around 20 minutes, but I've also had episodes that were an hour and half long XD

Depends on the game.

All of Roosterteeth's let's plays are about 40 minutes. Their most recent one was almost 2 hours. I still sit through it. For you though 15 minutes

Yeah. Depends. If you're a big youtuber with 1000s of subs you're entitled to longer videos. If you're a smaller youtuber you should strive for shorter videos to keep audience retention up for potential subscribers. I think 10-15 minutes could be about right for you now until you find a stable audience.

There are many factors that determine the length and usually I'd say around 10-15 minutes would be a good length.
