My Videos are only 2 hours long, please help

I teach online classes over Zoom and the course videos can be last all day, however my students can only view 2 hours of my course videos

Example one video I shared is 5 hours but my students can only see the first 2 hours, is there a way around this? 

Please help!!

    There's no limit for you, but others that access the link will be limited to how much of a video they can stream based on your account type. If you have a Basic account, they can stream the first 15 minutes. It's 2 hours for Plus Family and Professional and 4 hours for Business.

     

     

    If your videos are longer than two hours, the recipients will need to download the file to their device and watch it locally. If they watch it on the Dropbox website they'll be limited to the first two hours.
