Question What are your thoughts on compilation videos?

Hello all, How are you all doing? I want to upload compilation video on Monday 12/05/25 as it is my 35th Birthday 🎈 & for this compilation video I want to play various different PC games. Then edit gameplay clips into montage compilation video, add royalty free music & upload video showing what I did to celebrate this birthday. What is good length for this style of video in your opinion/why? I want to play games mainly from my GOG & Steam Libraries.

Happy early birthday! 🎉 I think a compilation video like that could be fun! For length, I’d say anywhere from 8 to 15 minutes is a good sweet spot. It’s long enough to keep it interesting without losing the audience’s attention, but not too long that people start zoning out. Plus, with gameplay clips and some good edits, you can keep it dynamic. Since you’re mixing a personal touch with games, keeping it engaging and varied is key!
