The maximum is 10 minutes these days, and multipart videos are common. This is approximately the length of the individual videos in Coursera, eg Andrew Ng’s course on machine learning.

I was in a computer science theory class at a prestigious university, and a number of otherwise extremely intelligent CS majors had a curious difficulty understanding the Pumping Lemma. They would ask the teacher to explain it. This happened a few times since attendance wasn’t mandatory and not everyone was present.

The resulting explanation from the instructor would absolutely fit into a three minute TikTok, plus it would be rewatchable. Unfortunately, there’s no video there that explains it today, but that could be remedied.

Hmm I guess that's fair, it still feels like a poor medium.
