Increase title length limit

120 characters is really to short for academic content!

FYI YouTube has a 70 character limit for video titles.

but peertube is better :-)

Joke aside, 70 is maybe good for "normal" videos but if you upload conference recordings for example, titles are often quite long.

Other options could be:
1- allow subtitle
2- allow author metadata field (which prevent for putting it inside the title when it is a conference).

isn't description sufficient? we can already use tags. maybe you can organize by say
year
month
department
subject
speaker
topic

having a bunch of text in the title itself does not make it more searchable than a short title and metadata via tags and description. or you are talking about something else

Sometimes, you don't choose the title yourself. I upload academic conference recordings (you can have a look at my instance : https://videos.ahp-numerique.fr). Academics give long titles and I often have to truncate. I can rephrase but it is not always easy and there is information loss in some cases.

Also, in academic world, author credit is very important (often more than the title: you will watch this video because you know the author whatever the title). If I put author information in tag or description it is not very visible.
