Fri 19 May 2023:
Elon Musk’s company Twitter is preparing to compete with YouTube by allowing paying users to upload videos up to two hours in length to the network.
The microblogging network has redesigned its Twitter Blue page and announced an increase in the video file size limit for paying users from 2GB to 8GB.
“Twitter Blue Verified subscribers can now upload 2-hour videos (8GB),” Musk tweeted on Thursday.
Previously, longer video uploads were only possible via the web, but users can now also upload via the iOS app.
Despite these changes, the maximum upload quality remains 1080p.
Twitter introduced the long video upload feature in December last year, and it recently added new playback speed controls to the web as well.
Several users expressed their thoughts on this development on Twitter.
“Sweet. When can we monetise them?,” a user commented.
Another user wrote, “Long videos are good, and I hope you focus on them as an alternative to YouTube. Short videos are bad. I hope you don’t imitate tik tok, shorts and reels”.
