"Videos should be at a minimum 10 minutes long to be eligible. If you make a multi-video then some lessons such as an introduction might be less than 10 minutes but the total of all videos should be more than 10 minutes."
4- so I can create one lesson of 12 minutes and split it into 3 videos, for example?
YES
