# videoMaximumDuration

The maximum duration, in seconds, for a video recording.

```
var videoMaximumDuration: TimeInterval { get set }
```

## Discussion

The default value for this property is 10 minutes (600 seconds). When a user taps the Share button to send a movie to MMS, MobileMe, YouTube, or another destination, an appropriate duration limit and an appropriate video quality are enforced.

This property is available only if the [`mediaTypes`](/documentation/UIKit/UIImagePickerController/mediaTypes) property’s value array includes the `kUTTypeMovie` media type.
