TWITTER ENHANCES VIDEO EXPERIENCE WITH NEW FEATURES

Fri 30 September 2022:

Twitter has announced that it is introducing new ways for users to experience videos on the platform in order to improve the user experience.

The platform introduced two new ways — immersive viewing and easy discovery, and showing more videos in Explore — for users to watch what’s happening on the platform.

“Videos are a huge part of the public conversation… To help make it easier to find and watch what’s happening, we are rolling out two new updates to how you experience videos on Twitter,” the platform said in a blogpost.

Twitter’s updated immersive media viewers can expand videos to full screen with a single click. To activate it, tap or click on a video in the Twitter app.

“Once the video has been launched in full-screen mode, we have made video discovery easier as well. Just scroll up to start browsing more engaging video content. If you want to exit the viewer and go back to the original Tweet, click the back arrow in the top left corner,” the platform said.

People using Twitter in English on iOS will be able to access the immersive media viewer in the coming days.

Users can now quickly find more videos they like along with Tweets and Trends that may be of interest to them thanks to our new video carousel. To find some of the most well-liked videos shared on Twitter, they can open the Explore tab.

People who use Twitter in English on iOS and Android in a few specific countries can currently access the video carousel.
