Previously, the maximum length for video ads was 30 seconds, which Instagram had just changed in September from the then-maximum, 15 seconds.

The move follows the aforementioned switch to a 30 second max length in September, an update which also saw its ads platform going global, with launches in more than 30 new countries.
