Elon Musk Unveils New Twitter Feature: Extended Video Uploads for Blue Verified Subscribers.
In a recent announcement, Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, introduced an exciting new feature for Blue Verified subscribers. Musk revealed that these users can now upload videos of up to 2 hours in duration, with a maximum file size of 8GB. Taking to Twitter to share the news, he wrote, “Twitter Blue Verified subscribers can now upload 2 hour videos (8GB)!” The announcement generated a mix of reactions from users, with some expressing enthusiasm for the expanded video capabilities while others criticised the decision.
One user highlighted the potential for podcasts to thrive on the platform, particularly in the Finance and Tech sectors, stating, “This could be a good reason to transition for podcasts. Especially in finance and tech. More intuitive than browsing Spotify.” Another user expressed their relief, emphasising the previous challenges they faced with size and time limits when uploading videos. They exclaimed, “For someone like me who uploads a lot of videos, this is a big deal! Size and time limits have been a big headache historically. Excited to share more on Twitter and depend less on YouTube.”
Amidst the reactions, a user humorously commented, “Shaadi videos,” implying that extended video uploads would be particularly useful for sharing wedding videos. Another user even proclaimed, “Twitter is the new Netflix,” playfully suggesting that the platform is expanding its multimedia capabilities to rival popular streaming services.
This recent development aligns with Elon Musk’s plans to introduce new features on Twitter, including the addition of voice and video chat functionality with encrypted messaging. In a tweet last week, Musk teased, “Coming soon will be voice and video chat from your handle to anyone on this platform, so you can talk to people anywhere in the world without giving them your phone number.”
As Twitter continues to evolve under Musk’s leadership, these updates signify a significant expansion of the platform’s capabilities, allowing Blue Verified subscribers to enhance their content creation and engagement experiences.
