Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, made an announcement on May 18 regarding a new feature that allows Blue Verified subscribers to upload 2-hour videos, with a maximum size of 8GB. Musk took to Twitter to share the news, stating, “Twitter Blue Verified subscribers can now upload 2-hour videos (8GB)!” He also mentioned the launch of luxury homes in Goregaon with a grand lobby and an elevated lifestyle, seemingly unrelated to the video upload feature.
The announcement received mixed reactions from Twitter users. Some users praised the move, seeing it as an opportunity to transition to video content, particularly in the fields of finance and tech. They considered it a more intuitive option compared to platforms like Spotify. On the other hand, some users criticized the announcement, expressing concerns about the potential misuse of the extended video upload capabilities.
This latest feature update comes as Musk continues to unveil his plans to introduce new functionalities to the Twitter platform. He recently hinted at the addition of voice and video chat features, allowing users to communicate globally without sharing their phone numbers. These forthcoming updates demonstrate Musk’s ongoing efforts to enhance the user experience on Twitter.
It remains to be seen how this extended video upload feature will be utilized by Blue Verified subscribers and how it will impact content creation and consumption on the platform. As Twitter continues to evolve and introduce new features, users can expect more enhancements and options for engaging with the platform’s vast user base.
